Default opinions on exhaust.

i have a 98 z28 and it is about to be getting some long-tube headers. i'm thinking i want to go with 3" dual exhaust all the way back to about where the stock Y pipe comes together and putting a dual in dual out magnaflow muffler on it and then turn downs, the turn downs will end up being right in front of the rearend. i know i'm doing a magnaflow either way, i just want some opinions on what you guys think would give me the most power. oh yeah, and the cats are coming off and its getting tuned for it.

i dont know what muffler you are talking about but i dont see a dual in dual out muffler fitting there. A couple of friends had custom duals with an xpipe into 2 magnaflow 4x9's dumped at the axle. Both sounded real good, werent real loud but definitely had some drone at highway speeds but really all dumped setups do. had decent clearence especially for those mufflers only scraped on big *** bumps and if the car was loaded down.

the muffler has 3" inlets and outlets. it is a 5 by 8 oval and its 18 inches long. it should fit but its gonna be tight.

lt's and magnaflow is definately what i want but i'm not sure of anything between them. an X-pipe is definately an option. i'm trying to decide which setup will give me the most power without getting too many tickets.
