If I wanted to go over the axle with duels I read that it would have to be 2 1/2" not 3". Would I see a worthwhile gain going with 3" and dump before the axle? The reason i want to go over the axle is because I drive my car every day its not snowing. I don't like the idea of having the exhaust coming out under the car.I don't plan on doing heads, just the hotcam and boltons. I know it will probly be a pita but I'll try to make the exhaust myself too.

I'm going to get pacesetters so the collecter is 3". Should I go 3" through the x-pipe and 2 1/2" after or just 2 1/2" right from the headers? Another reason to go with 2 1/2 is then I can use the stainless works chambered mufflers. THey don't offer them in 3" , but I can get 2 1/2". The mufflers are 24" long so I'll probly have them between the x-pipe and the axle. Would cutouts off each header help if I go with chambered mufflers while at the track?

Another reason to go 2 1/2" is that my car is already lowered 1 1/2".

You could always do a 3inch to 2.5 after the x pipe and use electric cutouts before or just after the x before it goes to 2.5 this would solve your issue.

2.5" duals are plenty big enough to handle even more than you are planning on doing. And yes, go 3" to the X and 2.5" after.

2.5" for your application and plans (keep stock heads) should be plenty.
