Installing the Summit 2.5in A body exhaust

rumblefish360 said

These systems are for headers and areisted to work with Hooker Comp. headers.
2.5 inch exhaust pipe is a good size and will handle 400+ HP.
At 3 inches, your good for 500 HP
These are general guide lines not set in stone.

What is the goal or current power level of the 5.9?
What is the intended purpose of the car?
Mostly street or track. 50/50-ish?

Thanks, Rumblefish.

The car is going to be street...maybe an occasional trip to the strip down the road. It's a "Magnum300" (mild) and will stay that way for a while... it sounds like 2.5" would probably be fine.

I read a test showing almost no benefit from headers on this exact motor...but it sounds like I might need to save up for them anyway if I'm going to go this route.

At this point, I'm looking to get this car back on the road before mid-summer and I'm looking for the simplest solutions...impatience never pays off. :)
