Default 2.5" or 3"
I have a 3" downpipe with sports cat to be fitted and was wondering if it's better to go for 3" cbe or stick with the stock 2.5" diameter? I have no plans to go bt but the cbe does need replacing as it's blowing like a motherfucker!!
I have tried searching but for some reason whem I try to type anything in the search box it dissapears on the iPhone.

2.5" is fine for the cbe for the k04. but since your upgrading might as well go 3"

Yeah, that's stock. I have no idea how it happened or how long it had been like that, I just happened to be under the car when the garage started her up so I noticed it straight away. It
may have happened when the retards fitted the test pipe.

Ouch.. well, yeah what these guys are saying, 3" is somewhat useless unless you're doing a Downpipe, then you might as well swap it all.

From what I've heard, there are no gains to be had with any CBE... So you may as well go 3" for kicks. Then you can say "YO homes, I got dat 3" cat back niggah"
