    smaller exhaust tip, any problems?

    i have a 2.5" exhaust on my bmw. was wondering, i bought a new stainless tip but it is 2" and i will need to use a reducer to fit it. will the smaller tip create any problems, exhaust disturbance, backpressure etc? I know most people go larger, i just liked the look of this tip.
    thanks guys.

      It won't effect performance at all, it may just look small.

          Yeah 2" will look funny. 4" is what you want for a single tip.

              It will cause some back pressure. How much, I don't know. Will it effect performance, I don't know.

                      You shouldn't listen to me, since I am running 3in turbo back with a 3in piece of pipe for a "tip".
