3" duals or 4" single exhaust?

XLR8N is right about the frictional surface area per inch
3" = 9.42" x 2 = 18.84"
4" = 12.57"
If you multiply these numbers by your total pipe length(s), then you will get the approximate total frictional surface area of your exhaust system. If an equal amount of air exits the engine, the air will flow faster through the 3" pipe. You are also less likely to compromise your low end torque as there is greater friction with the dual 3".
In my opinion, it is better to err on the small side of exhaust pipe rather than the large side.

Im making 3" pipe from each header to the dual 3" in / single 4" out magnaflow catback. Im going to be welding in 2 3" electric cutouts into the 3" piping too. I figure that way I cant loose and it gives me limitless possibilities.
The piping will be about $80 and the magnaflow catback is around $380. Im not sure about the price on the cutouts, but Im thinking about $250 for both. and it will all be stainless steel
