i didn't read this entire thread.
my experience is anything you can do to get bigger or shorter exhaust will help a turbo. the best set up you could have is a 4" dp as short as it can be with no exhaust. i dont think you could get anything bigger then that to fit.
steping up to a 4" exhaust after a 3" dp will help. depending on the muffler and how long and strait the exhaust is and how hard you are pushing things i could see it add anywhere from 5hp to 60hp.

I agree. The solstice turbo guys, are adding a 3" exhaust system and LOOSING PSI but picking up a good handful of power. We all know it's not about PSI but about airflow. Keep us posted..

The kit I bought, I got from ebay for $310 shipped. I should have just built my own since it didn't come with the muffler I wanted 
. It does feel a bit stronger, but I'm only running around on 7 psi right now, just trying to limp this wounded motor along... thats why I took it to the track last night, 
Good for a hand full of 13.6-13.7, in the hot *** AZ night air. lol
I'm putting this muffler on and gona re-do the tail pipe like I did on Mikes truck. I really like how his came out and sounds
I just need to get a 4" ss elbow.

mines 3 inch back to a 4inch magnaflow 30 inch case and dumped. The exhaust shop couldnt bend any 4 inch and didnt have any d max stuff. I think i found some d max exhaust tonight tho. I did lose a little over my 3 inch downpipe that stopped at the crossover, but I think that was kinda expected.
And who takes a head lifted motor to the track and runs 13's. Damn u....
