My mac (ya ya, I know most of you hate it) 3 inch cat back and 3 inch pro-chamber arrived today, man this is BIG exhuast :hail2: I also got my msd 6al,spec stageIII clutch disk,Aeromotive bypass regulator,pump,and both filters. Got a bunch of misc.....stuff too. Now all I need to put this together is some fuel line and fittings (little stuff I'm forgeting too) and some motovation. Gotta get rolling, want to be on the road by May.

why to go with the 3 inch i think you are one of the few people that actual needs 3 inch exhaust i am boarder lineneeding 3 inch i am pushing 500 flywheel but i think i will stay with my mac long tubes mac pro chamber and mac 2 1/2 cat back system
 
Your motor absolutely needs 3" exhaust. I switched from 2 1/2" to 3" and gained power from 3700 rpm up with my NA 306. It was down 10 ft-lbs at 3000 but up 10-15 ft-lbs above 3700. Peaked at 363 ft-lbs at the wheels at 5200 rpm.
 
5.0 HOtrain - i have full Mac exhaust with the 3 inch pro chamber with the 3 inch pro dumps and was wanting to switch to the full 3 inch catback...what tires are you running in back...i dont think 3 inch tails will clear my DR's

Mike you should see my 4" stuff... :D

Jesus christ Rick, 4inch!! Wow, is it on the car yet? Dumped I assume?? Demongt, I have yet to put it on the car, just got it yesterday. I'm running 275/50's on 15x7's with 5.5bs. Hope they fit, if not I will run a spacer. I have 3inch studs on the axles so I wont be scared to space them out some if I have to.
 
ive thought sometimes about getting 3 inch because of my power levels. But for everything I change to get more power I screw up my driveability. I could make more power but then I lose more on the low end. I guess I should just stay where I am.
