94 CAMRO Z28

With the mods in my sig, what size exhaust should I go with? I will eventually be going to a larger cam and ported heads. But that probably will have to wait till next year. Would 2.5in. be enough or should I go to the 3in.?

Thanks

What kind of mufflers are you planning on running? Are you gonna run the exhaust out the back, or just dump it at the rear axle?

go 2 1/2 with an x-pipe. but if your gonna go through the trouble of doing true duals you might as well get long tubes. i believe the bbk's are shorties right?

BBKs are shorties but I plan on going with the Pacesetter LTs, into an X pipe, into Dynomax bullets and then dumped just before the rear axles.

you using cats... and what kinda x-pipe?

2.5 should be fine, but I'm sure that your headder is going to have 3" collectors, so I would probably just stick to that.

No cats and the X pipe will be a pieced together one that is out of Summit. The header collectors are 3in. so I'll probably just do 3in. x pipe into 3in. pipes. Im just concerned about losing low end tq.

When I dynoed mine before and after headders and !cat, My torque just increased more in the mid range. Instead of a flat curve it was "humped" in the middle, but I didn't lose any torque. A tune has then fixed that and now it's flat again. I am running a y pipe though. Maybe this will help.

Well since Im running a cam then maybe it'll help Tq. more then anything.

2 1/2" duals is plenty for that combination. BIGGER is not always better. A 3" dual could give you more HP, but will kill your torque. Torque is what makes a street car go.

My 2 cents
