    Banks downpipe/exhaust question

    So I have the banks downpipe already, not installed though. I'm not sure weather I should go 3" or 4" for the rest of the system. I also am on the fence about stainless steel vs aluminized. Are there any performance differences between 3 and 4"? I wouldn't get 4" just for the sound if there...
