Default X Pipe

Should i go with a 3 inch x pipe or 2.5 inch x pipe?? What would be the best for power and torque. I know i lose some torque going this route but what would help me save as much as possible.

I'm running 3", and I have more ground clearance than I did with my hooker y-pipe if you are worried about that. I'de personally go with 3" since you have a stroker.

I ran them out the back and I'm running spiral flow mufflers, it is loud but I daily drive it with no complaintes. There's no drone or rasp or anything like that. I can talk on the phone fine in the car too.

Here's a sound clip of mine. It got a little louder/deeper with my new cam vs the gm846 too.

Don't forget the Edelbrock 304 SDTs...Sound great, flow great and are only 3 5/8" thich in the 3" version..I run those on my TD system with an X...Going to the dyno when the weather brakes to see if it makes more hp/tq over my old Borla cat back...
