The only time Iv see this work was a guy running twin cans ,and it was done for space and size restriction as he was running the exhaust up front near the seals ,was ok ,the car was very OTT anyhow so kind of suited it !

Why would you want to reduce the diameter of your exhaust? Or do you mean 'motorbike style'

3" isn't too big really mate.

My old FRST had a 3" when I got it and I think that looked quite small
