How big of exhaust?
I have been debating on getting a true dual set-up but I think ground clearance will be an issue if I use 3 inch pipes(being that I live in northeast Ohio). I currently have 1 3/4 " Grottyohann long tubes with 3 inch collectors. The coating is peeling so I have to have them blasted and checked to see if they're ok and not rusted. If they're ok to go then I will just have them re-coated; if not, then I may get either Kooks or American Racing headers(I say AR because I haven't decided if I am going duals or not). My SS has an ARE stage 2 head/cam and puts down over 420rwhp(combo is about 4-5 yrs old). If I get new headers will I benefit from stepping up to 1 7/8 tubes or should I stay with the 1 3/4. I am running stock cubic inches and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. If I choose to go the true dual route...can I use 2.5 inch pipe and not lose anything, as opposed to 3 inch pipe. I read the true dual sticky but I would like some advice from owners, you know I am also debating about going true dual all the way back, over the axle(that is another reason for 2.5 inch)
