Facatory exhaust size
« on: March 08, 2014, 07:49:27 am »
1984 GMC 3/4 ton 2 WD 454 c.i.

What is the factory exhaust size, 2 1/4 or 2 1/2?

 Pretty sure it is 2.5 to the muffler and 2.25 tailpipe, at least that what mine appears on my 85 C20 with factory dual exhaust (original)

Think there would be any reason why I couldn't do 2.5 all the way back?  I mean it's a stock 454, it's not like it requires some kind of precision or anything.

I am going to do it when I get my 85 back on the road

     You will not have any back pressure running 2.5" all the way back, it might help your truck run a little better, not much but some.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
