Ive ran 3 inch full exhausts since like 79-80 and so did all the other really fast street cars, looking for the pea shooter pipes or even a 2.5 into 2 behind the mufflers and since the mufflers back then were not the best it was always a factor to size up the competition.
Just like the "fast" street cars of the 80-s sporting Radial T/A tires...really not so fast.
My buddys Cutlass ran 10.60's at about 123, with slicks. Just a thrown together big block chevy, with mostly parts people had lying around. driven to the track street car. one day, after putting his street tires back on, and loading up the car with the slicks, jack and tools, he realized he could make one last pass, before the night was over...
on the 275/60 radial ta's... and the car loaded with parts and tools.... 10.90....
he didn't go back to slicks, unless it was for money. and this was 1998.
