I do not recomend the 3" from the catback toward the split because of back pressure and air resonance. I would do 2.75" with a x-pipe and then go 2.5" from the split all the way towards the muffler.

The pre-fabricated HKS Hi-Power for the GS400 are 60mm inlets. If you go with larger, you'll be creating a bottle neck (which may be ok because it'll keep some of the backpressure you'll be getting rid of with the large piping).

3" is a bit large for an N/A car.

Read my posts above... It's been tried and tested. No need to go any larger than 2.75" if you're not running any FI.
