Exhaust diameters

What would be the best exhaust diameter to follow headers? I have a stock 390.

Muffler recommendations? I want to keep it quiet

2.5" all the way out with dynomax ultra flow oval's... personal preference, they are quiet but still sound good when you're gettin' on it.

Thanks, is there any benefit to using a larger diameter?

the bigger diameter helps high end flow, since it reduces backpressure.. not a big concern with a stock motor..

I would check out the Hooker Muffs...they make a quit one..and one for super performance motor's......

I now have a 3" dia. pipe coming out of my Collecter's @ 16" long going into 2 1/2" pipe into an X pipe then thru Hooker MaxFlows and dumping out just in front of the back tires.....it has a nice rumble at Idle..and is quit on the road until you hit the GO pedal.. JMO...

"MILLER"? Come on Russ your taste buds deserve better, I feel bad for you drinking that water. May have to ship you a case of good German Bier. When i'm scapping bottom Henery Weinhard's have to do and my taste buds hate me in the morning.

Carl I look forward to the case!!! The last good German beer I have drank was when I stoped in Hiedelburg Germany in 73 when I was in the USAF... and Only 6 of them Knocked me out!!

If I remember right I think I was told it was like 14 maybe 16% by volume? But the first 2 were rather hard to get down as there served at room temp...after that I didnt give a ***** lol...

But you have to remember the beer on the east coast is twice the Alky content that it is west of the Mississippi.....

I used to get a case a month from a guy I use too work with years ago until his father past away...it was French Canadian beer...I dont recall the name off hand? but it was 12% by volume and had a real good taste to it when served cold!!

Yep Americans cant make a killer beer!! LOL... I guess they could..but its are freakin government!!
