I was wondering how the fit is with the 3" system over the 2.5" system. Does the system also come with the baffles like the 2.5 system and does it sound any different? If anyone had any pictures that would be great.

I just installed mine. It fits really well to be a 3" system. It does hit my irs brace but it doesn't have anywhere else to go. Fits much better than my 3" mac I had at one time. Also it does come with baffles

Yeah its kooks 1 7/8 longtubes, kooks o/r x and baffles out of the bassani catback. I took the baffles out because it was blowing the fiberglass out of them

Do you have any ground clearance issues with the 3" exhaust? I was wondering how much clearance this setup would have with H&R springs. Thanks for the input some pictures would be great.

I'm also thinking about picking one up this weekend. Was wondering how much better it was than the 2.5" and if there were any clearance issues with IRS, ground, etc.

This exhaust actually tucks up better than my old 2.5 setup. Haven't scraped on anything yet and my car is low. Will be awhile before I can get some pics. Broke a halfshaft and they car doesn't move right now lol

Just to revive the thread and answer the original question...

I installed my Bassani catted X and Bassani 3" catback (with baffles). The fitment was pretty good. It definitely tucks up better than that Magnaflow. No scraping issues yet, unlike the Magnaflow. Only problem, it rubs my IRS brace like rtusnake said.
