im planning on doing my own cat back exhaust system. I was planning on going with 3" pipe from cat back however, with a performance muffler likely a magnaflow round muffler, is going with 3.5" piping gonna make it significantly louder?

Shouldn't, but 3.5" piping is overkill. It's just too much.

Stick to 2.5 if ur n/a anything bigger will actually make u lose power unless u have some serious power adders

Most catback systems seem to be a single 3" or dual 2.5 inches from cat to the end. Depends on which way you want to go

3.5" pipe? Are you driving an 18 wheeler?

Unless you are supercharging you don't even need 3" pipe. 2.5" is big enough.

Oh forgot, 3" will make it louder not to mention that muffler helping out too.

What engine? 318/360 get the best benefit from a 3" pipe.

I added a ramair hood, and Mopar Perf PCM, which got me 2 mph in the quarter. When I added headers, with 2&1/4 dual exhausts (dual cats and dual Flowmaster muffler) I lost lowend power (1 mph in the 1/4), but my mileage went from 14.5 to 16. Too much exhaust started to "lean" my engine.
