Last piece of the puzzle...

After doing a cam swap and various other mods I'm down to figuring out what exhaust to go with, and would much appreciate some advice for what would do best for what I'm running.

Anyways heres what I've done: I started with a 350ho crate engine and put in a XE274 cam, modded vortecs for lift, RPM Air-Gap intake, 1.5 Pro Magnum rockers, 750DP, Edge 3000 stall, and Hedman LT's. The car is not dropped I just put some Moog "Iroc" springs so I'm not too worried about ground clearance if I do duals. I'm just wondering dual 2.5"?, single 3"? or what? Also on the muffler I dont want it extremely loud and sounding like a truck but definitely have a good mean sound to it (I'm going with electronic cutouts anyways so it will be loud enough when its uncorked.), any opinions there?

I have a good shop to take it to so I can get it done, but I just want to be able to go over there with something already in mind. On a side note I don't have to worry about running cats where I'm at.

Re: Last piece of the puzzle...

I didnt have very good luck going with duals i couldnt even get out of the driveway. I didnt use the proper tools (mandrel pipe bender) so make sure your shop has one also i have and auto so i had about 3 inches of clearance not good i ended up buying a complete hooker setup instead. Duals are very possible just gotta have the tools. you can do duals in the stock location too. kinda cool just to be a lil different.

Re: Last piece of the puzzle...

Mandrel bend is not a problem, the shop has that capability. I just have no idea what kind of numbers I'm putting down from that combo; I was told it was good for at least 400hp at the crank. If anyone has any ideas about that also I'd be happy to hear it. I was just wanting to know what kind of exhaust setup I should be shootin' for with that?
