I have a 95 Cobra. I'm about to put on a Vortech S-Trim on it

It already has BBK shorty headers, stock mid pipe, and a flowmaster exhaust on it

I want to switch out to a longtube setup with an Xpipe and a good exhaust. AND I want 3" all the way from the header collectors back?

I'm looking at some MAC 1 3/4" Longtubes w/ 3" collector. but i have no idea what Xpipe and exhaust to get

Thanks

I have the exhaust your looking at. Make sure you get the headers in ceramic. The regular coating is garbage. Mine still look brand new. I got the entire kit LT, Prochamber and Cat back for under $1100 shipped to my door from Pacifica. Its all 3 inch.

Why do you feel the need for 3"? A s-trim is a pretty mild set-up.?

A Prochamber is basically an X pipe. Both pipes meet in the middle. Here is a pic of a shorty Prochamber for long tubes.

Just get a 3" mac prochamber. make sure you order your mac 1 3/4" longtubes with a 3" collector.

for the catback I'd highly suggest a borla set-up with a BBK H-pipe (I have highflow cats on mine). I have absolutely no drone. It's quite but noticeable at idle..but once you hit WOT that thing sounds straight mean.

there is no need for a 3 inch exhaust on a stock motor with just an s-trim.

i have kooks long tubes with 3" collectors going onto my engine, but it is a 410. if you need a 3" exhaust on your 302, then mine are way too small for my setup.

i am also going with a prochamber.

i am also planning on delta flowmaster 50s (3 chamber), because pokageek has found them to be drone free. Summit part #FLO-942553 for the 2 1/2" version.

i have some mac jet-hot coated long tubes from my aborted 331 buildup if you are interested in them. they were on chris eades' (eades5.0) supercharged 331 before he went turbo. they have 1 3/4" primaries and 2 1/2" collectors so they would be good with the deltas above.

email me if interested: curlbud-stangnet@yahoo.com

So would the prochamber be better than, say, a Dr. Gas 2.5" X-pipe?

or would there really be no difference
