In my '64 I have a 2bbl intake with a Carter BBD. I'd like to upgrade the exhaust to 2 1/4".
Being in the beginning stages of paint prep I figured I would pull the manifold to hog it out to 2 1/4" before I have new paint.
Dropped the small pipe and found the manifold outlet is already 2 1/4". Yaay, saved some extra work! I believe the exhaust manifold is from a later model truck, based on trying to get a thermal choke in the 'pocket' to work with the BBD carb. Went with a manual choke.
Question, what muffler / resonators are you using with the larger pipe?
I don't mind a good sound but really want to avoid a drone.

Try the back of 65 Commando exhaust or something similar. Straight thru muffler and a straight thru resonator.
 
Hog the manifold to 2.5" and get the TTI exhaust system.
 
Dynomax or Summit Super Turbo.

This is one of those questions where if you ask 10 people you'll get 10 different answers. This was a recent topic in the Slant 6 section.
 
TTI just started doing the Slant exhaust in 2020.
I'm surprised it's not there.
