Default 3.5" Collectors

Who is running these? I have a set of Dynatech stepped headers and the only collectors in stock at the time were the 3.5" What do you guys think? I can get the 3" in a week or so, should I wait?

I guess I will share the remainder of the exhaust plans. If I go with the 3.5" collectors I will run 3.5" cutouts, neck down to 3" and then use a Flowmaster dual 3" into 4" collector and then neck it down to mate with my Borla.

I've got 3.5" collectors I"m planning to run. I'm going to add an extension on each side to give the 02's a little more space and hopefully build a little torque. Then dual 3.5" cutouts reduced to dual 3" and both pipes running through 3" Bassani Muffler and turning down at the axle. The 3.5" collectors aren't too big if you plan on doing a lot of mods <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Only problem I see is that you have 54 cubic inches on me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

All these tech people on here and nobody has anything to say about collector size? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

when i baught my stepped dynatech heads i also asked about the 3.5" collectors and they said that they arent needed until the 1000hp area. If you are going to run a 3.5" exhaust, it might be feasable, but you might loose exhaust velocity. I would call Madman or Jay billingsley
