Vince,
I have an 89 v6 that is coming due for a new exhaust and I am planning on
going with a free flow muffler, free flow cat and 2.25 or 2.5 pipe.

What size pipe did you use? and is the noise increase causing any annoying
drone at hi-way speeds?

I do not mind a rumble but do not want to create something I will find
uncomfortable while cruising.
