I'd get the sport exhaust from sobstory and not worry about the larger plumbing. There have been many posts over the years with reports of no improvement or even decreased performance with 3" systems. It's something to do with the exhaust pulse waves and backpressure tuning, which is very counter intuitive to me. I have an old grp6 exhaust, too, and all I got from it is a better sound (and a rear axle clunk until I cut 2 inches out of the pip to the cat!). My son has the sobstory sport exhaust and got the same growl with no clunk for alot less money. he claims better performance, but I think it's imaginary given all the other tweaks.
