Hi, I have just bought my first soarer and was wondering what size exhaust I should be looking at getting? At the moment it has a cat back system but I would like to get extractors. The mufflers I am interested in come with 2.5" or 3" inlets so which of these two sizes would be better? Also, should it be a single system or twin with cats and a crossover?
I would appreciate any advice, thanks

Theres dozens of posts about this, search for more information.

But basically dual 2.0" is the go for a V8.

Andrew.

3" is getting too big and you may start having clearance problems. 2.5" may match the extractors better - do you have something in mind for that?

Soarers look much nicer with dual exhausts, nothing to be achieved by going single.
