Default N20 ls3 416
Alright so I purchased some arh 2" primary's w/ 4" collectors and I need help w/ what to do for exhaust on it. This is still a "street car" lol I'm not scared of loud just be running open headers on the car lol. Simpler the setup and cheaper the better but I'd like to hear what you big cube nitrous cars do for exhaust thanks.

I would reduce it down to 3" and run a nice x pipe true duel setup.

Damn that's some big collectors.
My 2" Kooks are 3.5" and a thought they were huge.
Mine not a street car so I just put Borla XR-1's on my collectors.

Bullets are not mufflers.
They do very little to quieten down a car.
And they damn sure done tone it down.

I got around 10" of pipe off the collectors to the oval case XR1's,
then turndowns off the mufflers. The drivers side headers come out on a angle and I had a
3.5" of pipe with the correct bend in it to straighten out the angle.
I'll get some pics and sound clip later today.

Your headers are too big IMHO.. 2" with 3.5 Colleectors would have been a better setup with a true dual 3" dumped before the axles with bullets

Maybe but I got a pretty damn good deal on them so I don't think a 1/2 inch difference on the collector is gonna be a game changer

No such thing as TOO BIG... We picked up 5mph going from 1-7/8 head to 2"-3.5" on a 347"
nitrous engine.

On the exhaust. I would reduce to 3.5", and run oval tubing where you will have clearance issues. I build a lot of exhausts like that here.
Going to be doing one on my cousins 408 TA here in the next month or so.

I cant post the video because it is to long and the file size is to big. Any ideas on how to compress it to get it to load.
