intercooler piping size
what pipe size should I use for my intercooler....
it's the big ARC intercooler.

Some people are telling me 2.5 inches and some are saying 3.
what's the best choice for performance?


thanks

On my GSX I am now making 558 whp with 2.5" intercooler piping. I even have a 45degree bend that is 2.25" in the upper pipe. the 2.5" is working just fine.
