However, The shop that fabbed this used a 3" to 2.5" reducer at the very end to fit 2.5" tip inlets... At first I didn't mind but now that I've had time to think about it and look at other peoples set up with full 3" to tips it has me wondering.

Does this 3" to 2.5" reduction at the very end of the exhaust cause any lost power?

Even if it doesn't I might just go back and have it replaced with 3" pipe because I'm OCD and want a full 3" exhaust - which also means I'll have to return the 2.5" tips for 3".
Interesting... how far back does it neck down to 2.5? I don't know this platform particularly well yet (still new to it), but in most turbo cars it makes a difference from 2.5" to 3".
