What is the diameter of the piping. You'll want at least 3".

ANY other exhaust you pick is going to be REALLY loud with just a midpipe. Don't forget that the porting is going to make your motor alot louder as well. If you do decide that you want something bigger then I agree with Bacon's choice. If you're going to be loud you might as well go bigger.

Vosko just dyno it first. If you're not happy with the numbers you can borrow my sightly bent n1 dual and see if it makes a difference.
