Re: Exhaust tube Diameter

At that power level you are getting close to the point where you need 3" duals, but 2.5" duals will support it if that's the route you choose. Use mandrel bends and good flowing mufflers. I'm at the same power level as you and went with 3" duals just so I know I don't have a restriction and have room to grow. They definitely are a little louder than 2.5", but muffler selection will have some to do with that as well.
