Default Exhaust Options

I Am Planing On Bulding A 383 For My Camaro And Was Wondering If The 3 Inch Exhaust I Have On The Car Is Still Good On An Engine That Might Make 500hp At The Crank. I Also Plan On Using Nitrous
Maybe A 150 To 175 Shot. The Car Currently Has Pacesetter Long Tubes And A Flowmaster 10 Series Muffler And No Cats With Y-pipe.
Would Using A Dual Exhaust Or A 4 Inch Exhaust From Mufflex Be Better? Or Will the Current Exhaust Be Fine?

i 2nd this

dual exhaust is cool and will probably add you a couple ponies but theres not much room under the car and i think it might be something you look at after you have got the new motor in and running right.

The mufflex sounds bad *** and would be plenty, but I didnt think that the 10 series flows were restrictive like the 80 series crossflows, correct me if im wrong.

Thats Correct. The 10 Series Are Not As Restrictive As The 80 Series And They Sound Alot Better In My Opinion. If You Guys Want To Hear What It Souns Like, Go To Youtube And Type [ Firebird 1 Chamber Flowmaster] This
Video Is With An Ls1. My Car Sound Almost The Same.
