Thank you speedfreek and wheee! for the info.

Shifting gears a bit I'm finding 3" inlets are easy to find...but I seem to remember reading going over 2.5" dual cbe actually makes you lose power except in turbo/supercharder applications. Can anyone confirm this?

I know I'm never going to boost; so is 3" dual with x pipe a good or bad pursuit?

Right now I have pricing on flanges, flex pipes, 12 & 18 inch resonators, mufflers and with new info a couple options for tips. Shop quotes range from $250 to $450 for them to fab it out of stainless steel.

A cursory research shows bumping all the items to 3" wouldn't raise the material cost by much and in some parts save money.

At the end of the day I want power so that's what my focus is on. With the contacts I have I can save a substantial enough amount to go custom rather than purchasing one that is fab'd by invidia, hks, etc
