Talking SO lets design a new exhaust....

Screamin's current system is a hodge podge of stock and ol' school aftermarket pieces that are in need of replacement... So I am deferring to my fellow truck nuts and gearheads to help me come up with a system that is functional, upgradeable, cool, off beat, and wont break the bank....

Truck Specs: '71 C10 LWB.
Suspension: 3/5 Static Drop... I plan on dropping the rear another inch soon.
Drivetrain: 700r4 1800 stall 3.73 Rear gears
Current engine: 307 with Vortec "906" heads and 214/224 dur cam. Approx. 9.5:1 SCR
Future engine will be a L31 Vortec 10:1 SCR roller 218/228 dur cam .525 lift.

I'd like to stick with ramhorns or mid length Chevelle headers and exit before the rear tires. If anybody has had any luck running a big diameter single system...I'm game to just about any configuration that sounds good and doesn't drone...

So throw your suggestions and pics my way....

What HP are you expecting to have with the future engine?

I would say no more than 2 1/2" for the 307, but with an almost 400hp; at least 3" pipes.
