2.5 Or 3 Inch Straight Pipes?

[Lee.Smith]

Im getting straight pipes put on my 2001 tahoe and I was just wondering if I should go with 2.5 inch or 3 inch pipes. Which would sound the deepest? I got a quote for 250 from the local muffler shop. Is that reasonable?

What he said ^^ I have 3" in to a Flowmaster 10 series muffler with 2.5" out duals. I like my stuff LOUD but wanted to keep some backpressure and lose the crackcle no mufflers have. I love it and have gotten a butt load of comments on it.

Straight pipes from the cats back and no muffler. And i would like a nice and loud acceleration and a little bit of drone at crusing. Is that too picky?

NO, just get rid of the mufflers and run the 2.5" pipes straight back. That's how my truck is set-up and it's pretty tame at idle, borderline out of control on acceleration, and drones pretty good on the highway.
