2 1/2 or 3 in?(exhaust)

I ordered some headers today & thought might as well
change the exhaust too. Should i stay with 2 1/2 or
go 3in ? And what mufflers to go with it?
thanks,scott

You should do a custom exhaust. True dual right from the headers. Two highflow cats. Two sweet thunder chambered mufflers. Although im not sure what happend to the sweet thunder website. It is now a site for jewelry :sad:
anyways you can still find the same ones in summit I think and various places. They look similar to a cherry bomb or glass pack i guess but they are far from it. They are the same thing as the GMMG exhaust for the F-body and Corvettes. It would sound awesome!!! I have these on my truck!

i think a true dual with 2 1/2 inch will be plenty . i would get a couple a mandrel bent pieces for the sharp turns on the drivers side. free flow cats work great but remember that the factory cats work good as well. i run carsound cats on mine. they work good. i am also running a magnaflow hd muffler. 12568 it the poart number. it has a dual inlet and outlet. it also has a true x pipe design inside that will help low end some.

I agree with 02Denali. I have a similar setup

I looked at that magnaflow muff today,looks like
i'll probaly get one.How does it sound? The cats
are off already,might not put any on.Stay with
2 1/2 in right,what do you think a 3 in system
would do : help it out or will it hurt?
I hate trying to make my mind up,gives me a
headach! :sad:

thanks for all the input,scott :thumb:

I have always liked the mellow rumble of the magnaflows. However I would suggest putting some cats on and using 2.5". Otherwise you won't have enough backpressure with the dual system and you will actually loose power.

Deffinately no larger then 2.5 on the dual.

if the cats are off then do the 2 12 dual out. that muff sounds kick ass.
