After the flowmaster i want to do DT headers so those should make up for
any low end loss. So I think I'll go with the 2 1/2" tailpipes. One
more question: Should I get a 3" in 3" out or a 3" in dual 2.5" out?
With the 3" in and out there would have to be some sort of Y connector
to split off into duals. With the dual out this would not be needed.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for the suggestions.
