recommended exhaust size for mostly stock 5.3?
#11
I stayed with the 2.5" duals and 2 mufflers. The HP level most of us are at does not require dual 3" and you can actually hurt TQ going that big in theory.

I just made 345rwhp N/A with this exhaust setup and that was on a gimped tq converter.

Mine is pretty damned loud with those bullets. The custom X-pipeed exhaust i have sounds wicked when reved and nice and deep when idling. It's actually a bit too loud so I fear getting nabbed by the cops so we welded a catalytic converter sheel on the pies to look like I have cats but I'll probably get nabbed anyway since Sacramento is REALLY cracking down on modded cars/trucks.
