Hell (I need to get some true dyno numbers) I believe Im between 350-375 to the tires, and I think my single 3" is better for my application than dual 2.5
So what muffler and header combo are you running,I gather you have the closest to perfect ones for your application.And what cats? or are you running no cats?

No, I seriously doubt mine is the perfect combo. Wish it was, but I have Pacesetter LTs, ORY a 3"si/so Dynomax bullet into a 3"si/so Magnaflow. The Magnaflow is center in/out also (if it matters) I have seriously thought about going dual 2.5 on mine, but just havent yet (not sure if I will) I dont know if there is a "perfect" setup for sound low end and high end power, but Im happy with what I have for my application. Maybe one day I'll get a 2.5 bual setup, and see about dyboing the differences etc.

I agree
3inch exhaust is a bit big for a non cammed engine, and non "High stalled Torque converter"
that being said..
I swapped to dual 3inch Longtubes, and muffs dumped, and picked up .7 of a sec..over my dual 2-1/2" exhaust setup.
