If you get headers, buy the 3" model now. W/ headers you want a good 3" single pipe to the rear anyway. Even on a 5.0

When i bought my Trans Am it had installed a 3in single pipe going to the back is that supposed to be better then dual pipes?

I guess mainly for the noise. It doesn't do much for a stock car. It's not necessary at all on a street car. Hell my car made 255whp with just a full exhaust system in my sig when the engine was bone stock. Somebody is not doing something right.

i changed out my stock exhaust manifolds and got some new ones a few years ago but the pipe hasnt changed going to the cat so it should sound good enough
