Time to do my exhaust again. I currently run consistant 12.7's @108. As it is now the exhaust is: ported manifolds, no cats, flowmaster resonator, 2.5 middle section into dual 2.25 to dyno max muffs. Basically...very very restrictive for my power levels. Here is what i have floating around in my head, but not sure if its too big or not big enough.
Long tube headers ( 1 5/8...2.5" collectors), no cats, magnaflow resonator dual 2.5" in, single 3.5" out, 3.5" middle pipe, flowmaster y-collector into dual 2.5" into dual borla xr-1 muffs.
My concern is whether to go 3" for a middle section or 3.5". I think the dual 2.5" pipes into the resonator should be fine, but I dont want to be too restrictive after that, and also not too big either. I have a great knowledge of these cars, and have gone the exhaust route before, but its time to upgrade. I know exactly how i want to route it all...just need to make a desision on a middle pipe so i can order my resonator and not hurt my low end power with too big of an exhaust, but also not be holding back power.
I've heard that the magnaflow and borla muffs make a great combo that sound good and flow great. Overall they are expensive, 90 for the res and 135 each for the muffs, but I hope they are worth it. I'm not really too concerned with the sound of the car, i love the way mine sounds now with the cam, and dont want that flowmaster v6 sound. Just want a nice tone to it, with no rice.
Anyways, please don't take this as another basic exhaust thread that we see every day. I'm just trying to judge the size of my middle pipe and the combo that I have chosen. Let me know if its too small or too big or hopfully just right for my set-up. I currently put down about 330rwhp running a 65 shot of nitrous. I hope to hit 350 rear wheel once i make a custom front mount and do this exhaust.
