I've got 3 inch exhaust from my headers to a set of Doug's cutouts and to the X pipe. Everything from the X back is 2.5 inch. It clearly isn't a kit.
If you have any kind of performance setup, 3 inch is the way to go.

Number 1 , you do not need 3" Exh back passed the mufflers unless your exceeding 650hp and number 2 , you will give yourself a hell of a hard time to fit 3" tail pipes back there and not having any rattles taking place at times!

Steve I beg to differ. My 2nd gen Torque Tech 3" fit great and no rattles. Unfortunately he retired a year or so ago and no longer makes F or A body pipes.

Never have heard a complaint from anyone using a Ram Air Restoration system. It ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for, usually.

Complete Torque system on my '70 TA including Dr. Gas 3.5-inch in / 3.0-inch out X-pipe and 3-inch tail pipes. DynoMax 3-inch mufflers.
No issues. .

I believe the OP makes enough power ... If I didn't just need 3 inch tailpipes I'd order another kit from PYPES.

Since I have a 9", I doubt I will get 3" tailpipes on it. If I'm wrong, someone please educate me.

Even though it is overkill, I still documented a nice power gain with full 3" on my very mild 455.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
