ive been thinking about changing up my exhaust a little.
right now ive got 2.5" into a dynomax ultra-flo x muffler, the one with the built in x-pipe hen dumped before the rear axel.
what ive thought about doing is either keeping the 2.5 until they get past the trans crossmember then making it into a 3" with a x-pipe and then 2 mufflers of some sort. or somehow merging it into a 4" single and then coming out the side before the rear tire with both.
what is everyones thoughts?

my buddy has a mufflex exhaust on his f-body, its 3in ory to 4in, 4in allthe way back to the muffler, the 4in tail pipe tucked up behind the bumper. but that was on a procharged 383, i dont think you neeeed anything that extreme. but if you do, it will sound great.

i might be wrong, but i doubt i would loose anything if i made the exhaust bigger since ill still have a good but of it 2.5". im just tired of the way it sounds and dont think it sounds very good at all on top of that

i wish i had a sound clip of my cousins 5.3, its was 3in true duals with a h-pipe and flows with 3in dumps. it sounded good but lost some bottom end, he had 3in from the manifolds.

ok, so now im really gona try to get this done soon!!! im in panama city, fl right now doin stuff with my race car, and on the way down i thought i could hear some kind of rattle coming from the exhaust. and now while i was sitting in the parking lot hooking up my trailer theres definitely a bad rattle coming from the muffler. so i guess something inside broke loose... what do you guys think i should do??

Make the dealer repair/replace it. If you want a new exhaust, get this one fixed first then sell the new one to offset the cost of aftermarket.

it already is all aftermarket, its the dynomax ultraflo-x muffler

call them and complain. THey should send you a new one out. I think Virgil went through a couple of them, like your's they fell apart.
BTW, I don't see that on your list of mods.

ill call them tomorrow, but i dont really want to run the same exhaust, maybe if i can get another free muffler ill just sell it...
