When it comes to turbo-back exhaust, from what I understand, bigger is better (to a certain a extent). I think for your application 3" would be perfectly fine.

Pros:
-Polished SS
-Attractive price
-Possibly best flowing exhaust available
-Although looks similar to HKS, tailpipe section not nearly as ugly IMO
-3" is a great upgrade

Cons:
-LOUD! I personally wouldn't use this for daily driving without the resonated X-pipe
-Not the best looking
-The silencers look ugly, hence the need for resonated pipes IMO
-No customer reviews that I've seen. If you buy this, you'll be the Guinea Pig.

Personally, I think the 3" is overkill for what you are doing unless you are going bigger on the turbos and way more boost. Unless you just want a louder exhaust of course. But from a performance stand point, unless you are going bigger in (intake piping, intercoolers, turbos) just putting a big exhaust won't do enough to justify the cost
