re: 69 camaro exhaust

Are you still going with the 2in, 2out muffler, or a pair of mufflers?

re: 69 camaro exhaust

8000 rpm with a 350 needs 3 inch mandrel pipes and 2 inch headers with those 220 heads and 4800 stall speed.....

OH wait, you said daily driver........

That's a lot of rpm to be turning on the way to work.

re: 69 camaro exhaust

I agree, no bigger than 2.5". I also doubt the 8K figure.

re: 69 camaro exhaust

In my opinion, 2 1/4" will be a God's plenty for a 350 daily driver.

All this sillyness with sewer pipe exhaust sizes makes me nauseous. More Ricky Racer BS.
