4 inch exhaust????

Do you guys think 4 inch exhaust is too much flow for a basically stock 350? Id like to run dynomax bullets pretty much right after the collectors into 4 inch out the sides in front of the rear tires. There will be an H pipe before the mufflers.

Yes to your question. Even a dual 3" would be too much. Just upgrade to a single 3" and you should be fine for your stock motor.

Yes it will be too large for a stock 350, but if you plan on going with a larger or more powerful engine, it might be a good idea - so you don't replace it twice.

Running pipes out the side is a really bad idea - not enough ground clearance with a 2.5" pipe and with the 4" it would be comical how low it would hang. Everyone I know who did a side exit exhaust ripped it off within a few weeks at best...
