New Exhaust
What should I expect from my new exhaust set up? Long tubes, No cats, X-pipe, and dual flows. Its 2.5 all the way back.. Or should I have gone with 3inch.. both dump down before diff.

around $800 which $400-$450 for headers, $100 per muffler, x pipe $70 plus install. This is a rough estimate but pretty close.

I dont know about the dual 2.5....
It seems like a little waste of money. From what I HEAR one 3 inch will outflow 2- 2.5inch and will save you a LOT of money. I am currently runnin one 3 inch and i love it! Noticed a lot on top end!

Well, let's think about that one second...
pi(r)^2 = pi(1.5)^2 = 7.06 sq inches for 3" pipe pi(r)^2 = pi(1.25)^2 = 4.91 sq inches times 2 for duals = 9.82 sq inches You would actually have more flow with dual 2.5's. If you're gonna mod your motor, a single 3" or dual 2.5" would be fine. I think if you already have a 3" catback, keep it and not worry about the dual 2.5 unless you want duals. I don't think it can really hurt you if it's modded. And I agree with Virgils post, a single 3" will see a lot of top end. I noticed it when I put my JBA exhaust on my Yukon. It seemed to just run better overall and you can feel it pull a lot harder in the upper rpm range especially when you're on the highway passing people. Good luck with whatever you do! |
Unless your going a stroker motor or forced induction, I wouldn't go true duals. I originally had them on my truck, took them off after I had the LT's installed and went to a single 3". Just switching from the 2.5" TD's to a single 3" I noticed a ton of re-gained low end power and torque. If I had to do it again, I would only go single 3"

Right now I have a single 3 inch.. Was just thinkin maybe I can get more out of it by goin to x-pipe with 2.5 dual. Im gonna be runnin this with my Nitrous set up.

Stick with the single 3" on an N/A 4.8. Youll be shooting yourself in the foot if you dont.

I had on my 5.3L(new motor now, unsure how it will work with exhaust) LT headers, no cats, and a magnaflow round body(21" long) dumped before axle, 3" from headers back whole way.. I also noticed more top end vs my old stock diameter setup.
