I hope to get my exhaust by Christmas, so I have another week or two to think of what I want.
You definitely don't need dual 3" tailpipes. I ran the Flowmaster with 2.5" tailpipes on my supercharged 93 Z28. Actually, my neighbour's friend has a V6 Camaro with a flowmaster and dual 3" pipes and it's horrible sounding. Listening to a soundclip of a car sitting there revving it's engine is no comparison to what the car sounds like while driving it under load. Believe me, this V6 Camaro sounds terrible driving away. Keep the tailpipes small and it won't sound nearly as bad. Big tailpipes are for
