Go better in the sense it feels better while driving, ie smoother on de-accl, + sounds better and looks better. not talking about power gains or loses, however i think the negative effects on my stock engine car is going to be low to none. But yea i have thought about the effects of reducing to that smaller diameter. As for "cool" its hardly flashy or big and obnoxious... it looks stock.... because it is stock. Ill put my cannon back on and see if i notice any differences....
