Default 3.5" Dual Exhaust??!!!

Will I just baught a pair of 3.5" Moroso spiral flows for a great deal from a guy on here. I was plan on making my own true dual set up coming off my pacesetter long tubes. My question is is the 3.5" bullets too big? Should I just run 3" pipe into the bullets with reducers or should I rund 3.5" pipe everywhere? Also what type of x-pipe should I get? (iff it makes a difference) Thanks guys

I'd just run 3" pipe and put a couple of reducers on the mufflers. Most x-pipes are about the same. I've had Dr. Gas and Heddman, both were almost identical.

shy of a 1000hp+ setup....3" pipes are more than sufficient.

you'll REALLY lose ground clearance with 3.5" pipes.

my jegs universla Xpipe seems to work fine

I see I see Thanks, I know that I would not be gaining anything going to 3.5" pipes just curious if it would actually harm anything?

I am running 3 1/2 X-Pipe on my Formula. Let me say this. If you think the True Dual 3inch System sounds good.

The 3 1/2 inch True Dual System sounds WAY MEANER then any 3inh True Dual System.

I have heard that you really can't go overboard on a LS1 with the exhaust. Even if it is hurting my performance. The Sound is just intoxicating just listening to a cam through it.

I haven't heard my setup yet since I haven't gotton my car back. But I have heard it on some of my buddys cars & they just plain sound sick.
