Dunno, maybe you should ask someone with a fast car what they think! I believe i may need to look into acquiring a secret like yours, because i want to go faster too.

yea but it aint gonna sound that much different i had a 2.25 inch and 2.5 with original 40 series about 4 years ago didnt sound much different to me at all. you can also buy 2.5 inch tailpipes from latemodel resto. a lot of companies mac, flowmaster, magnaflow make stainless 2.5 inch tails. just bolt it onto your 40 series mufflers if you want but its not gonna sound much different especially since you want it LOUDER with some tone.

AHH but your current secret is much better than mine as for faster, why you wanna do that?? you're already faster then me. I mean you run 13's and I'm still in the world of the 14's ....once I saw you run solid 13's today, this was me after I left

Just an aside from the "Peanut Gallery"....I have equal length BBK shorties, Pypes X pipe into 2 chamber Flowmaster 40's. Has a nice deep idle and when I open it up you can hear me from a distance. Nice, deep sound. Again, as posted earlier...its a subjective thing for sure! Good luck.
