    Re: Which exhaust should i go with??

    I don't have a vid , but mine is dumped before the axle with a dynomax bullet race muffler and its too loud, I will be redoing mine back to over the axle with 2 21/2" outlets to reduce the sound some.

                Nope. I don't have emissions, and when I do, my shop does emission testing.

                  personally I would leave the 2 1/2 because unless you have force induction then you will need some of that back pressure. However if you decide to go forced induction i would run 3 inch there is no need to go any larger unless you switch to a V8

                      thats why i havent gone 3" because i read before that you needed atleast a little backpressure.

                          well dropped it off to the mechanic today hes charging 160, also recommended changing the oil pan and the gasket bc mine was bent from hitting something and was leaking oil...total bill for everything including parts is 410, 160 for the headers, 120 for the oil pan fix and 130 for the oil pan and gasket. Costing alot more than i thought lol

                            Gawd... you mechanic is cheap. I was told 700 for install only on headers, and the gasket alone for your oil pan is $45..

                              it may run fine to what you are use to however unless you try different things and have the car on a dyno how do you know what is the best??? after all this is what i do for a living.

                                Never touched a dyno. Never been tuned. I have pipes, and everything else is stock... after I get deeper into the car I'll worry about the small amount of power difference I would have.
