On a stroker-equipped car making 400+hp, with long tubes and a 3" cat-back, yes, a 3" X-pipe is perfect. If you are plumbing into a 2.5" or stock cat-back, then there is no point. There is only one bolt in 3" X-pipe kit designed for 5.0's with shorties, the Flowmaster version.

Yup, you can go a long way with a 2.5" set up
