Default question about 3 inch exhaust

well i have an oppertunity to buy the TSP rumbler true dauls from a buddy of mine for 200 bucks. and i know it has 3inch pipe all the way back and i was wondering if that will kill my low end? seems like big pipe to be putting on a stock motor.it will have LT's of course.and ive heard about the ground clearence issue's also.but should i buy this?or get a custom dual?or a Y set up? and my car is also lowered 1 1/2 in the front, 1 1/4 in the back.

you're kidding right?

3" is the size of just about every aftermarket exhaust for the Fbody...with the exception of the mufflex ones.

its only .25" bigger than stock.

you are throwing people off with the rumbler true duals part. Since the rumbler is a single 3" CATBACK and the duals is a dual exhaust.

i missed the duals part

it was early and i didn't have my coffee yet

i would say they are more than you need, but not too much.

you'll have room to grow, save some money, and have the baddest sounding exhaust available.
