Is exhaust a OD or ID?
Most exhaust piping is going to be measured using OD dimensions which is outer dimensions of the pipe or the outer diameter. That means if you were to purchase a three-inch pipe—let’s say like the one we have here—the outside diameter of this pipe would actually be three inches.
Is bigger diameter exhaust better?
The whole idea is to increase your exhaust diameter as the amount of exhaust your engine creates increases. This reduces restriction and allows for more flow. If you have modified your engine, you’ll need to modify the exhaust as well to allow for more airflow.

Is 3.5 inch exhaust too big?
The general rule of thumb for exhaust systems is, as we said 3-3.5in for 250-350whp, above that 4″ exhaust is the right size, but that’s about as big as you want to go, even at the 400whp-500whp level.
How much horsepower can a 3-inch exhaust support?
Experts say a 3-inch exhaust is fine for sub-800-whp levels like our Toyota Supra test car, but how much is being left on the table? While a half-inch may not sound like much, it equates to a 36 percent increase in volume, and we wanted to find out if there’s actually a real-world difference.
