Myself either. Kind of what i was saying. If your entire exhaust changed from 3 to 3.5 you may not even notice. Changed from 2.5's into 4" to 2.5's into 3" today on a turbo motor and saw nothing. Heard less but that was the point.

The exhaust came with 3.5" collectors, this was was was recommended by my exhaust guy. But that being said, today i installed 3" collectors and installed flow pro twisters on it just so it would run.

I took it for a drive today, the maiden voyage was awesome. The exhaust is way too loud but its what i am going to run for this summer. Need to buy a new fuel pump and regulator tomorrow and then try to get it tuned up. I am only home for a week this trip so it may be hard to get it tuned this time home.

Soooo nice to have this stupid car drivable again.

Wow! Must be nice to finally drive the car again! Glad you're getting some seat time with the new engine!

Report back! the Fat and the Furious guys managed a solid 12.5 with one. If you dont know what I'm talking about. Its a television show that I despise. They stuck one in a Chevelle and acted like it was physically larger than the 454 they pulled out.

Yes! Another Discovery Channel reject! Guys acting stupid, and trying to pretend they really know cars! I caught the implication of the 572 crate motor somehow being larger than the BBC they pulled out. Unfortunately there are some who might actually believe that baloney!

Instead of Fat and Furious, they should have called it Fat and Loud, like that other stupid Discovery show!
