408 LS3 Silverado exhaust choices
I am building a iron block 408 stroker engine for my extended cab Silverado.
(Lunati crank. Forged H beams. Diamond Pistons 11:1 compression)
LS3 heads with some light polishing work done
L92 intake manifold with LS3 throttle body LS3 injectors
Comp cam 235/251 .621/.624 113lsa
Comp cam dual springs
LS3 rockers
Ctsv lifters
Ls2 timing chain
She hopefully puts down 500+hp
So now I got to work on the exhuast. thinking about going pacesetter 1 7/8 ceramic coated long tubes. Debating to do 3 inch x pipe or maybe 3inch y pipe to 4 inch back. NO CATS.
Then muffler choices. I want people to know I have a gnarly engine but I don't want to rattle my brain on long drives. The Black Widow race or venom 250 series have caught my attention but they are kinda new to the scene. I have always been a magnaflow (race or oval 4x9) type of guy but dyno number come a little short. And then there's borla mufflers.
Any opinions on my engine build and or personal experience on exhaust selection will greatly be appreciated.

If it were me, I'd run Speed Engineering 1 7/8" long tube headers, which are stainless steel, with an x-pipe setup. The Black Widow mufflers do sound great, but there are a ton of options out there for mufflers/bullets.
