I have 3" going back to a pair of series 40 Flowmasters then 2.5" all
the way out the back.
I haven't taken it down the strip yet, but I've got a moderately healthy
400 small block in my
'68 and would imagine I could drop a pretty healthy big block in it with
the same exaust with no worries.

Jimmy,
You could use either 2.5 or 3". As far as performance both will
get the job done for your combo. I went 11's with cheap 2.5"
mufflers. So the true decisions are based on $$$ available. I would
tend to lean toward 3" and try to get it in stainless. Mandrel bent
pipes are a must. Many kits are available that fit right in the
factory locations. My Borla setup has 2.75" tailpipes and utilize the
factory mounting points. I like Flowmaster but have heard very good
things about Pypes.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Exhausts
I'm in the market for an exhaust system,I Have a mostly stock
454ci .60 over, mild cam with a street avenger 770 , stock open
chamber oval heads ,super comp headers and would like to know if I
should go with a 2.5"inch or 3" inch pipe. The anyone has had any
experiance with Pypes 3"inch crossover system with cut outs. looks
like a nice system, but more expensive than Flowmasters. Jimmy C.
