Default an exhuast question

i have a question if i went from my stock inlet aize which i believe is 2 1/4" or 2/ 1/2" and jumped it up to 3" so i could use a flowmaster 40 series 3" inlet dual 2 1/2" outlet would that cause me to lose low end torques dus to changing the size of the exhaust. if it would or does not sound like a good idea to do that does anyone know a site where i can get a flowmaster 40 series that has a inlet the sane size as mine because i havent found one. thank you very much

put your year and trim level in your signature and that will help a lot also, your talkin about upsizing the pipe size right before it goes into the muffler right? this wouldnt cause you to loose a ton of backpressure but for the ease of installation i would get one that has a 2.5" inlet and dual 2.5" outlets, and since your talkin bout a 40series flowmaster im guessin you got the se or sle model with the single exhaust? your headed in the right direction

Yea out of all the Camaro/Firebird mufflers Ive seen, they all have the 3'' inlet. I would go ahead and get it since all you need to do is add a reducer. Full Boar also makes cheap mufflers that claim to flow more than Flowmasters and Im seriously considering getting one in the next couple of days or so.
