Default Bigger is ALWAYS better

Alright.. here's the dealio. What size exhaust should I be running for maximum efficiency? 391 LS2 with a T88.. 4" downpipe.. Should I keep running 4" exhaust all the way or step down to 3.5" or even 3".. Ofcourse I will have a cutout after the downpipe.. if that makes a difference

4" all the way back..... your tune will be off if you open the cutout, so I would steer away from that ideaw w/the turbo... as long as you stay same diamater things will be great, also make sure you exit it just past the back bumper so you dont get any drowning road noise on the highway...

that's what I thought.. I will probably actaully do the tune with the cutout open and just leave it open.
