I have. It's loud. I'd go w/ 2.5" if I were to do it again. Performance wise, I dont think you'd gain anything other than already having it there if you beef up your motor in the future.

If you go too big you will reduce your exhaust gas speed, which will reduce the scavenging effect of your headers, which
will...........you get the picture... reduce performance.

cant go wrong with 3" on a hot rodded v-8, especially a big block. dont expect it to be quite with bullet mufflers though.
