well right now i have asm long tubes, with cutouts behind them, then through high flow cats, through a magnaflow x, and then through bullets dumped. all of this is 2.5" true duals. right now i have some exhaust leaks and header collector leaks so i need to get it all redone. so what should i do, should i go back with the same setup and fix it, or should i go to 3" and ditch the cats? also if i ditch the cats will it be really loud? if it is ill probably just leave the cutouts off too. just would like some opinions on what would sound good and what would give me the best in performance with my setup. thanks

Do you have the $$$ to get it completely re-done? Any exhaust shop should be able to seal up those leaks.

But if you just want an excuse for a new exhaust I say go 3" and keep the X-pipe or have an ORY and run 3" sinlge back. Cat-less will be somewhat louder but not cut-out loud so that's up to you (I'd keep the cut-out just for fun).

I'd have a custom ORY built with those cutouts and keep a big 3" single exhaust... it will sound very good with your 5.3

well i dont really have the money to buy new mufflers and an x pipe and new cutouts so ill probably just go back with the same setup, just have them re pipe everything so it wont leak any. i just didnt know if i should change it to 3" for the performance, or if 3" would hurt performance.

with a 5.3 dual 3" would be overkill for your mods, but it would be perfect if you plan on adding an S/C or adding some more hp through heads and a larger cam.

i do have p&p heads and the cam in my sig. is that enough to justify 3"? also i do plan on going with a radix later on but that will be a while. so what would be your final decision?
