What size true duals do ya'll have? Please list the diameter of the pipes in your true dual exhaust set-up. And please list why you run what you run (i.e. more displacement, blower, nitrous, etc.) Thanks.
I know that probably most people on here run 2 1/2" or 3". I'm trying to decide on wether or not I should step up from a 2 1/2" dual exhaust to a 3" dual exhaust when I get my 382 in. I've got to have the cats where I live (due to dumb-*** neighbors), so that plays a big part in it. Kinda think I should go bigger, curious about the loss of back-pressure and the effect on the very low-end.

sound from dumps.

I've had 3" before, and ground clearance was decent, just had to be careful on speedbumps. I'll probably go with 2.5" on this T/A since I lowered it, unless I get some Dr. Gas oval 3" pipe to gain some ground clearance.

Duals with 2 1/2 inch pipes going over the axle with Noise Cancelling, straight through design mufflers at the rear, one on each side of the tub. That way I get the power of the Straight through exhaust flow but without all of that neighbor and law complaining noise.
