not really opinion when a 3" exhaust doesn't make more power. 2.5" is more than enough for most setups. It's just like how most people over do throttle body size.

No like I said you got to walk the line between velocity and back pressure. 2 1/2" is perfect.

opinions are like belly buttons, if you dont wash it, it stinks.

so im guessing that you would say the Vic Jr EFI, 1 3/4 LT's and 3in exhaust
is too big for my n/a 331...and a 90mm TB and Lightning MAF will be in order to replace my 75maf and 70tb...

rice on? last time i checked they only used 3in fart cans and 3in stickers.

and i guess 4.30s are too much for street use.

lets say *HYPOTHETICALLY* you have a 347 thats going to rev to 10,00rpms, you would use 2.5in exhaust?

you know what exhaust size is really needed??? 1 1/2 inch so you can increase the torque to twist driveshafts like a pretzel!!!! and if you really wanna unravel the driveshaft like a candy cane make it 1 inch exhaust!!! and do all of this with a 347 bottom end!!!! bwahhhhhaaaaahaaaaa lol...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ now that is some funny crap what I just wrote...believe me there are some who believe that theroy above
