Default What do you think about this setup?

Hooker LT headers, into 3" y-pipe w/ Flowmaster 4" collector, then reduce from 4" to 3.5" back to a 3.5" cutout, then reduce to 3" into Hooker catback. Do you think this will be enough exhaust for my mods in my sig? I think that with the combo stated above, I could maintain some "quiet" on the street, and still have a free flowing exhaust for the track, whatcha think?

I'd just go 3.5 collector into a 3.5 cutout and go 3.0 after the cutout.

When you gonna hit the track with that dyno queen?

Thats what I meant, the y pipe already has a 4" collector on it, then 3.5" into a 3.5" cutout, then through the 3" Hooker catback. That way, with the cutout open, I'd have 3.5" all the way to the cutout.

I'm going to the track when I get the new heads and cam on the car. (Hopefully 2-3 weeks) Maybe we can both go to the track for the first time with our new setups together. :p

Nothing, I'm just worried about interior resonance, and overall loudness. I don't want to hate driving my 3800 mile 2002 Z28
