Is this in response to my post?

I was stating any bigblock I ever built needed 3" exhaust. I wasn't saying 2.5" is inadeqaute if that's how you read it. My suggestion was anything over 450HP I would run 3"

Thanks, from this i can surmise that 2.5" is all i will need. I don't plan on going hog wild with the power due to today's gas prices. I would, but i like to actually be get to drive my truck lol. Chris, do you have any idea of the typical shipping charges on the x pipe that you sell? If it helps, my zip is 76031. Also, i had another question. Is it ok to post up and talk about products that are not sold by this site? I saw this post

"oh ok thanks. i think im going to go with the turbo true dual kit from the (The next person that post this gets BANNED!-admin) magazine. its a good price and i have heard good things about them."

Is is about $65 to ship it.

You can talk about any manufacturer you want ie Dynomax, flowmaster, etc.  I will reply to your PM about the above.  Where did you find that post?

It's post number eight in this thread. Also, maybe i just did not see where you wrote it but what kind of mufflers is it that comes on that X-pipe? Or does it come with any?

The base kit doesn't come with mufflers, the ones that do come with it are made by the same company, Pypes Exhaust, they are $50 extra for any version you chose

This is the page in the catalog for it:

Capt, if you were to choose a pair of headers that were most compatible with the system you sell, what would those be?
85 Chevy Silverado C10 short, wide, yellow, 2wd. Lowered, 60-over 350 with Dart Iron Eagle heads and Comp Cams XE268 cam, TH350 w/ shift kit, 3.40 Gov-lok 12 bolt.

Whichever ones mate up best to the system you sell and the downtubes. It kinda looks like the system was prototyped more for shorties than for full-length headers?

They were pro-typed for generic long tubes and a long bed truck (you cut it to fit a SWB).
If I was lowered with a SBC, I might try some 67-81 Camaro Headman Elite 1 5/8" headers.
