I have a straight  2.5" pipe to the back going into Magnaflow straight  thru mufflers to the 2.5" tips.

At 2500 rpm driving, she's pretty mellow.
But when I get on it she screams pretty loud.

2 1/2 " more than enough for a street small block, unless you have a 600" monster   :lol2:

step headers / x-pipe/ 2 1/2" pipe / big blowmasters 50 series  works for me...

I highly recommend this system unless you want a quiet Cuda or Challenger on hard acceleration.

Magnaflow 12646, 14416, 10426.

Tidy system, what manifolds are you running?  HP?  Based on the rear I'm guessing you're putting out some decent power or is the Dana just long term insurance against problems?  I've read where others just put the round resonators/mufflers each side of the gas tank, and it looks like a great setup, pretty much how all cars are built now like my Mustang.  Also, I don't suppose you have a sound clip of youtube video we could listen to?

Thanks, Jim

Here is one for now.

I can't emphasize to you how loud she gets when I get on it.
It's like open headers.
