Ok good lol. Also I want to run 3" pipe for everything. Is that too big to run or is that ok?

3" is fine as long as its only a single pipe. If you go true duals they need to be 2.5" or you wont have as great of a scavenging effect.

If you're doing headers into a y pipe, then into a single muffler, everything from the muffler forward can be 3". At the muffler if you split to duals they need to be 2.5

i had my truck up on the lift this weekend and my exhaust is the same way, Y into single pipe, muffler, dual out back. it certainly doesn't feel short on power.

compared to what? lol its a hemi -- its got a lot of power. if you get headers and a non-restricting y-pipe you'll change your mind.

i guess i don't have anything to compare to, that's a good point. i guess the power it puts out seems to always surprise me given the weight of the truck. now you guys are making me want lt's.

Ok so I think I have figured out what i want to do. I'm going to run lts with stock cats into magnaflow y pipe into a big aero turbine muffler I found and then have it exit before the passenger side rear tire. All i need to find now is a cool challenger style tip. Anybody know where I can find one?

those look like a universal rectangular tip to me, in regards to how far they stick out, trimming the tailpipe to get the desired length right is all that's needed I would think.
