Re: Hey guys

Probably too much pipe for that engine man. 2.25" or maybe 2.5" would be a better choice. If it's sound and performance you want, run a smaller pipe and step up to a larger tip for the echo effect. 2.25" to a 3.5" tip sounds good to me. Just my opinion though... maybe someone else will chime in.

Re: Hey guys

For a 4.3L, 2.5" single that doesn't have any extremely kinked bends will be just fine for flow, as 3" is a little much for my 305. If you're set on duals i'd go with 2" and put in an H-pipe. Run some 3" tips and you'll be good.

And which Cherry Bombs? Most people when referring to Cherry Bomb mean their glasspacks, in which case i'd surely keep the stock cat in place provided it's not clogged.
