That's the size of my NHP manifold with sport cats at the inlet.

That's small. I run 2.25 inches from the flange, through the primaries - all the way to the catback. The catback has 3 inch inlets and 3.5 outlets.

Not the Hemi 'Cuda, the Boxster.

That's my exhaust configuration - built and designed by M&M Exhaust in Germany who are the preeminent tuners for the Porsche Super Cup, Carrera Cup Deutschland, ADAC GT Masters, ALMS / LMS, VLN / BF Goodrich, FIA GT and Rallye Meistershaft race series. They also produce the current Cup S, Cup R and RSR exhausts for Weissach.

That's WAY to big for street driving. That's killing your low rpm torque.

To the contrary, my low end and mid range torque increased significantly. Keep in mind, that I still have cats in place (HJS 200 cell) in order to maintain sufficient back pressure.

Interesting, that's contrary to everything I've ever read about exhaust tuning. I'm sure you know there's much more to pressure wave scavenging than just backpressure. Those are big-block V8 numbers.
