Glad to see this thread. I am thinking of ordering the TTI system for by '65 B-body. I have to decide:
1) 2.5" or 3"? Motor is a 493, dynoed at 586 HP, 620 ft/lbs
2) H pipe or X pipe? What are the pros and cons of each?
Also, does anyone know if the US Cartool "bolt to the crossmember" driveshaft loop will work with the TTI exhaust (either H or X tube)?
Definatly 3"!!! A 3 inch over a 2.5 is actually 44% bigger That is a lot of flow man. The hp loss difference is quite substantial and At about the same money??? guess on your motor a 2.5" system will cost you 60 hp over open and a 3" will cost you 20 hp over open!!!

My last 2.5 dynomax on a 452 iron head moter duals cost me 5 tenths in the quarter a change to 3" gained me .4 and only cost .1 closed! you know not of what you speak
Once at a midus muffler 2.5 turbo muffler system that cost almost .9
I know exactly of what I speak. You seem to have missed the last part of my statement. There is no way a basic stock motor will lose 60 hp between open and 2 1/2" exhaust.

Stumpy.. The poster said he had a 493... Over 500hp... not a basic stock motor....
Please show me where on this post the op said that. 
RAM ROD stated he had 493...not the OP. I think the OP's car is a fairly stock 440 and 3" would be over-kill.

go with the H pipe and 3 inch system. Its easier to put in a drive shaft loop with the H pipe.! H pipe also sounds better IMHO!

I say no. I have Hooker Super Comps on my Charger (that were free). I also have a cutom home built complete 3-1/2 X pipe exhaust with Series 40 Flowmaster reduced down to 3" after the mufflers up over the axle thru the stock tips. I re-used my stock tips & just cut the 2-1/4' portion of it off & welded the rest of the tip onto the 3" pipe with stock hangers. I made the X-pipe myself & used mandrel bends for everything. I have about $170.00 into my whole system.

Everyone I know who is running a TTI system is happy with it. I am only running the old TTI 3" H-Pipe system with the large super-turbo mufflers. This was after spending good money on a 3.5" muffler shop system with race bullet mufflers that dumped before the rear axle. The muffler shop system has badly crumpled bends, and the turn downs would blast debris off the ground right back up onto the rear axle and the bottom of the car. It also sounded like I was running uncapped mufflers, even after I installed the larger welded race mufflers. The TTI system fit, came with all the hangers, and reduced the exhaust noise to a tolarable level, and there was no difference in performance in my car which just runs 12.5 in Denver, but 11.80's @ 115 in Vegas.
I currently have Hooker 2" supercomp headers, but they don't fit worth a darn, and I can't get them to seal at the head. I may bite the bullet and get the TTI headers.

The trick with those POS super comps (I had three sets before TTI Heaven) is to get the good fel pro header gaskets coat liberally on both sides with Hi temp RTV. Then just snug up and wait 1 hour. Then tighten leave over night, tighten again heat cycle and tighten again.
Then check for tight once every week or two!

I think most of my hooker header problems is my engine configuration, Low deck 'B' block with Edelbrock Victor MW heads. They may fit better if using a 440 with stock location exhaust ports, which is their "specified" application.
TTI is about the only place that makes off-the-shelf headers specific for odd-ball block/head combinations like this.
Along time ago I had the regular smaller tube size hooker comp headers, on a 383 with 906 heads, and they fit great.
