3". its the "Power pipe" right? 
me thinks it hurts low end torque especially right off idle. When I
smogged my car (left the ABD tube on it.) a few weeks ago, I had problems
with erratic emissions at idle. Well, not a problem, it still smogged
cleaner than new. The numbers were bouncing around a bit which makes me
think the stock tube maintained low end velocity which keeps the plate
from bouncing. 
Food for thought. I found no extra power from mine. It was free AND I
like the way it looks. It makes timming them otor easier too. HEH! 

I think in theory it should make power since the airflow is only having
to turn once but the dyno sez nadda.
