I have had a few members ask

Hey Mike, I was just thinking....

If you run two 2" pipes into one pipe, what diameter pipe would be equal to the area of two 2" pipes? (that way you should have less restriction with the single pipe area the same as two 2" pipes) I did the math, and came up with 2.83". So in theory one 2.83" diameter pipe will have the same area (and hopefully equal flow) as two 2" pipes. Since 2 3/4" pipe is not common, it would be interesting to see what would happen if you made a Y-pipe to take both 2" exhaust into a single 3" system all the way back.... Since parts for a 3" pipe are more common and would be cheaper than 2 3/4"... :happy2:

Just something to think about for your next "stage" of upgrade... :scratch: :-k
This will be an easy change when I go with my new shaved big valve head and thinking/hopping to have a 225 block built with a good bump stick in it.
I see what you are saying :thumblef: but for know 2'' to 2 1/4 will keep me on the road and running smooth, I really think a little back pressure is good in some cases, I had a truck shaved/balanced/high gas 36? and it ran better with the headers hooked up to my exhaust, when I ran them open I lost 3 to 4 10ths in the 1/8 mile. Yep :thumblef: something to thing about for sure :hello2:
