I have a H.O 5.0L in my 65'. I have Hooker Super Comp Headers. The collectors are 3" So I want to know should I go with the Mac 3" ProChamber or the 2.5" I plan on 2.5" pipes and 2.5" Mangnaflows. First off If you have any opinions on another set of ProChambers I'm open to opinions. I just want a nice deep sound without getting pulled over all the time [Smile] Also I'm not sure on what style of magnaflows too get any opinions on the series or if they should be straight through or not would be helpful. Also for back pressure and overall flow I wasn't sure if I should go 2.5" after the headers(2.5" Pro-chambers) or after the pro-chambers? It feels like if I had my exhaust go to 2.5 after the pro-chambers theres almost no point (or would not create enough back pressure) Wouldn't that leave only 2-3' of pipes before my mufflers? Or would that be enough?

Sorry for the long post, Tim

Unless your making 500hp you won't need 3-inch. It might do more harm than good if your setup doesn't need it.

Thats what I've heard but Really if I go 2.5" after the pro-chamber is that going to be too far back and affect sound and backpressure? I want good flow and good sound. Just am not sure if the 2.5" pro-chambers were gonna be too restrictive?
