Benefits of a FULL 3" exhaust

I have a custom exhaust shop down the block from my job, they do custom mandrel bending up to 4". They are the best around, they do insane work.

I want to cut the 2.5" tapers off the downpipes, install flanges there. Then have custom made 3" piping all the way out. I am catless, with vibrant resontators and borla mufflers, obviously have to change them to 3" also.

Would I be seeing any gains from this? Or would it be too much work for what it'll gain

I am about to be running MMP inlets, i am FBO, meth, E85 with walbro 255.

You won't see any difference with the stock turbos.

The turbos are really small anyways. Not saying they don't perform, but it wouldn't hurt to have a 3" exhaust in the short term if you plan on switching to bigger turbos.

I doubt you will see any appreciable gains on stock turbos. The dual 2.5" exhaust flows pretty well as its a true dual exhaust.

Not sure if anyone has really done it to know for sure on the gains.

If your still running the stock exhaust you should. It's the only thing missing from your signature.
