    I read the tech artical about the modding safely (good artical by the way lot of tips), what is the best DP to go with a top swap 3"/2.5 or just 3" all the way through to a stock cat back. Looking for info before I order the parts soon.

    with the superchargers making these things torque monsters.. i would go 3 inch. they love to breath and i really doubt there is any difference down low as some people say there are. plus it would really help top end where these things need it

    Im top-swaped and run a plog with 2.5" dp, KR free and a torque monster. Im saving for headers now, imo wait on it and do headers when you put on your L67 or L32 top end.

    These are the things I need to hear the pros and cons thanks for the input, as for headers what do most think of the SSautochrome one's compared to ZZP's, I know there is price difference but what about the craftmanship in quailty.

    I have some ss auto chromes. They are nice quality, but I did not get them to seal on the first time. I am waiting for a night this week that I can work on my car again.

    Would you mind to keep me informed on where to look for leaks and what not if I decide to get a set instead of posting later in time that I have leaks and where to begin looking.

    3" DP for sure...

    As for the whole exhaust, depends on what you do honestly.

    When I had 3" DP, 2.5" exh, no cat, no res, stock Y, and mufflers it had a lot of rasp and a little bit of drone. When I went with 3"DP, 3" Exh, no cat, no res, custom 2.25" Y, stock mufflers... I have zero drone and most of the rasp has gone away. Sounds a bit deeper than before. Well worth it for sound and comfort for me....

    I am still using the stock Y and can't wait to upgrade to minus the rasp. Another thing I have heard of people doing to minus drone is a small inline 3" muffler especially when running straight flow muffflers.
