My theory about why the 3" pipe works: It's still 2 1/2" up to the
muffler. Then you have a freeflow muffler, so more air is coming
through the muffler than previously, so it can make use of larger
diameter tailpipe. That's my theory, based on no mechanical
knowledge whatsoever. However, the system works fine, so I'm
sticking with it.

3" is way too much for the V6. Unless you've got a "Race Built" V6
(which
we don't) you shouldn't be running anything more than 2.5". You
might be
able to get away with it if the muffler is restricted.
