[urq] 3" exhaust

[Brandon Rogers]

I'm pretty sure the 200 has a better flowing exhaust.  ISTR it having dual 
2" (or close to that) pipes vs the single 2.5" pipes on the urq.

But this is a valid remark, IMO.  I believe Dave D dyno'd his highly tuned 
S-Car with a full exhaust and then immediately afterwards with it 
disconnected at the DP - no gain whatsoever, IIRC.  But again I do believe 
the S-Car has a better flowing stock system, too....
