I am also going to put the pipes out in front of the wheels but at a different angle. Is the sound a very low tone or is it different than that?

running 3" pipe for a small block your going to loose a lot of bottom end power and at speed it will sound like its about to come apart

Im running 3" all the way out to be hind the wheels on my crew cab with a big block and hooker aero chamber mufflers. on the freeway people look back to see whats comming up beside them its LOUD

bigblock73 01-16-2011 02:20 AM

Re: 355 True Duals
 
I agree, 3" is waay too much pipe for your average small block.

Re: 355 True Duals
 
I'm running 2" true duals from the factory manifolds all the way back without cats and with some Flowmaster knockoffs (figured they would be temporary but I like them) and then down to 1.5 inch chrome tips in the back (for that old school look) it sounds really nice, not to loud but you can hear it from a ways away but doesn't drone in the cab.....hopefully will sound better when I install some new headers..

bbbc10 01-16-2011 02:50 AM

Re: 355 True Duals

bigger pipe deeper sound

Re: 355 True Duals
 
The motor that I bought is ment for little back pressure and is ment to ment open.

maynardtruckin 01-16-2011 12:03 PM

Re: 355 True Duals
 
with the right muffler and a few bends in the pipe back pressure is not a problem. look at copper head 3" pipe all the way back.

Copperhead had a 572, 3 inch pipes on a 350 will actually cost you some torque

codydubb 01-18-2011 03:31 AM

Re: 355 True Duals

You don't need anything bigger than 2.5" on your 350. Anything bigger is a waste and will hurt you. The smaller dia. tubing keeps the hot gasses flowing faster than the bigger 3" dia will since you won't have enough exhaust pressure coming out of your engine to get the full effect of what a 3" system requires.

I have a 3" system behind a built 440 with Flowmaster Super 40's and it thunders. Way too loud if you ever want to listen to your radio.

that can't be real?

Re: 355 True Duals
 
How about an x-pipe with whatever muffler of your choice? I think they make even stock engines sound aggressive. My pick would be Dynomax Ultra Flows
