Mufflers ON! thoughts of the setup

first off, this seems like a junkyard horrors story, one of the most bushleauge jobs ever done on my car

the muffler is a 3' in-out, he made to adapters (from stock size to 3') by method of torch and hammer, once the adapters where welded we put the muffler on, made hangers and welded them to the muffler, then we choped the stock tip off (again, with hammer, screwdriver and blow torch) and welded it on to the new setup.

all in all...as iffy as i was..and scared hed **** up my car..it turned out really well..i will get vids and pics up later!

My question is, what was the mechanic thinking putting a 3" muffler on your stock system? Could've just as easily got a 2 1/2" and had it fit way better.
