question about 2 1/2'' exhaust and 3'' exhaust

How much hp would a single 2.5'' exhaust handle?...like headers, no cat, to a good 3inch catback. and how about the 3''?

Just get 3" and you'll be fine for quite some time.

Do yall know of a Dynomax cat-back of 3" size that fits a TBI? I found the one for the dual cat set up, but that's obviously not what I need.

I thought I heard somewhere that for a 305, 3" is actually too big, and would cause me to lose some torque. I'm sure it's negligable, but for some reason I remember hearing or reading that somewhere.

Anyways, anybody know of the a 3" for my car, your help would be appreciated.

Mark: That's a lot of thirdgens.

But of coure, though setting up that pic was hard enough, can you imagine 100 3rd gens. I'm thinking several rows, and a pic from up in the air looking down, to get them all.
