I *think* standard's around the 39mm mark. 49mm is a max, and still may be too much (I'm not doing the maths for this so if it's poo, it's all my fault but I won't be taking the blame :razz: ).

As for the sound, larger bores sound more bassy, less raspy and generally just make the car nicer-sounding. Don't skimp on the boxes though - 3 box systems still have the noise without being too loud, and it'll still deliver the goods when you toe the loud button :grin:

BTW Kev, Powerflow will usually lop off your old tail pipe and weld a new one on for a nominal fee :wink:
