Default Is going from 2.5" to a 3" exhaust noticeable(with remap)

Just wondered if swapping the above would be worth the money and if the performance would be noticeable.The Car is a Spec C. Current bhp is 325
I'm happy with the performance at present,but then if I can get aprox 350bhp then why not.........
Interested to hear from people who have had experience with this.
Kind Regards
Dean

Well,it wasn't so conclusive to make me rush out and do it!! But then having just done a subaru driveday I remembered it wasn't all about bhp
But no doubt some people will disagree.......

I would say no, not on it's own, even with a remap.

Default Exhaust

I would have thought the 2.5inch Exhaust would become a limiting factor around 350bhp and anything there or over 3 inch would be better ?????
