Default Quick Exhaust question?

Hi I am new here to the forums...

I already did some research on this subject but I haven't got a clear answer on my concerrn.

I am thinking of running this set up : Pacesetter LT: TSP ORY: TSP Rumbler CB

Will that set up support 500 whp down the road?

There is a local shop here that does 3.5 inch single pipe cat-backs, thats why I wanted to know if the 3 inch would be sufficient that way I could just go one way versus the other.

Again my main goal is 500 whp on nitrous.

IMO, i would get a custom 3" O/R Y with a Flowmaster merge in it. It iwll help with the exhaust flow.

So the set up I posted wouldn't support 500 whp or would it be to restrictive. I am trying to get the most for my money I figured headers and ory 479 and 250 for the CB. If I would do the 3.5inch cat back with the ory that alone is 650 plus the headers. But if thats whats going to help me reach my goal i'll go that route. Any help would be appreciated?

I am pretty interested to know what type of gains someone would get over a 3 inch with a 3.5 inch? Maybe that would be a better question, that way you could figure out the cost benefit for that.

You will be fine with that combination. That entire setup is straight through flow, it will be very loud.
