>From the sound of the layout you've got put together.. it sounds like you're
not terrible worried about the torque losses of the larger pipe. But since
it does only displace 318cid.. it doesn't need a large pipe w/ duals.. I
agree with the masses..
2.25" or 2.5" 2.5" would be a max unless you'd want to run a single 3".. If
it's an automatic.. I'd say go with the 2.25".. 5spd.. use the 2.5". Eith
er way.. have a reputable shop do the bending.. have mandrel bends so you
don't defeat the purpose of your new pipes. Also.. w/ the 2.5".. if you
need a little more backpressure later.. you can always use a little more
restrictive mufflers.. and it allows you the flow you need if you make
further modifications later.
