it was actually proven that on a H/C 346ci motor, between 1 3/4" long tubes compared too 1 7/8"…the 1 3/4" actually made the same amount of power…however, when it came too 383+ C.I LSx’s, the 1 7/8’s shined.
exh should be tailored around the motor and needs ,to big ya lose low end ,to small ya lose top end on a stock internal motor there is no reason for long tubes and no cats ,unless it has nitrous or f/i .sure it sounds cool and ya can brag but sometimes ya lose power in crucial areas
