Hell yeah! If you're doing headers for 10 hp and sound, then you might as well throw a 3" on there too!

I think headers are a stretch enough. I like my no drone 2.5" set up.

Here is a decent unbiased article with science behind exhaust system design
Good link...thing for others to keep in mind on a street car that runs full exhaust is that the gasses are cooling/shrinking as they travel farther away from the engine, so it can maintain velocity in a necked down exhaust as long as the mufflers aren't becoming a restriction creating back pressure which would rob power potential.

Thanks for the order! You'll have to post up a sound clip and let us know how you like it!

Best regards,

I made 483rwhp with my mods and have long tube headers into high flow cats and Borla 2.5" S-type exhaust. I posted the details on my thread "My Night Fury cam install". (I would link to it but don't know how). If you want to make power on an NA motor, you have to at least put headers on, the stock cats (2 on each side) are a fine mesh and will definitely cost you power.

our stock mufflers are not a restriction are they? Just the cats correct?
