I just added a catless Dp to my 10th gen civic EX-T and it sounds amazing, was wondering if it's worth, getting a 3 inch front pipe and then converting my 2.25 inch exhaust into a 3 inch as well.
These are some videos of what it sounds like right now.

Which downpipe do you have and is that on the stock exhaust? It sounds really tbh.

Is there any drone?

Yes, a larger diameter pipe will make the exhaust louder. But unless you're making at least 250-300 horsepower, 3" exhaust is going to effect how well your engine exhaust scavenging will be. Go too big with the exhaust on a stock engine with a couple of bolt ons is going to impact your low end torque, and might decrease your mpg.

I'm making on the lower end 220 wheel horsepower and 250 wheel torque, just from the tune I'm on, without the additives of my bolt ons and 93
