A good bit. My buddy is running that with shorty headers and still broke into the 10's.

3.2 would be like dual 1.75s, that would suck, thats why going from single stock 3 inch to dual 3 inch picks up like 350-400 RWHP. 3 inch is like 1.5 inch duals, everyone knows that.


On a serious side, it will support plenty for a street car.

Because turbos and NA are the same right? Just because its "enough" doesnt mean it wont pick up power with more.

A .5 inch gain in a down pipe for a turbo car can be a significant gain, so i would not lump Turbos in with NA or blower applications.

4" takes a little more fitting to get over the rear axle without it hitting anything. I had a 4" Spintech before but with a bolt-on car. Sounded pretty good but wasn't loud enough for me so I went with 3" TD's and 1-chamber Flows.

They will definately be the most fun in a parking lot when small kids walk by when you fire it up

I have 1 chamber flows on the 89, but i am really wondering if there is more left with bullets out outlaws besides sound?

I may be wrong,but I just got my calculator out & figured
3.0 in single = 2.122 in duals
3.2 in single = 2.264 in duals
3.5 in single = 2.440 in duals
4.0 in single = 2.825 in duals
