gotta go 3 inch

Ironmike said
I think 2.5 tails defeats the purpose of going 3 inch. Your pipes are only as big as the smallest restriction......
Sound right?

I disagree. Large tails just create noise as far as im concerned.

Currently have the Flowmaster 10's on there. Pretty friggin loud with the 2 1/2 system, especially over 3000 RPM. I don't mind loud but honestly, the Flowmaster, to my ear, don't have a nice sound.

No clue what muffs I'm going to run yet. Hopefully loud with a "nice" loud, if ya get my drift...

I've found larger pipes to be Quieter.

I run Borla XR-1's. They are quieter inside and out Vs. the slowmasters I had.

I've always had a mental debate on the step up vs. step down exhaust system theory. On my diesels you go small to big, i.e 4" to 5". On my last car I went big to small, i.e 3.5 to 3. On this one I went same size al the way through 3".

In theory as the gasses cool they get smaller so you would need less tail, more primary. On a dart that isn't some custom built one off purpose built car I'd run the same size all the way and use an X or a H pipe in that order.
