Question first then explanation. What effect does a short section of small diameter exhaust pipe after the "muffler" actually affect? Higher exhaust note?
Now, I say "muffler" because theres no back pressure in the tailpipes and I'm deleting the muffler anyway. The Vortec 5.7 and its dual pipes, dual converters are about 2" diameter.
On the RCSB, 117" wheelbase pickup, theres a natural space for a high mounted side exit where the frame rises after the cab, and where the leaf hanger attaches.
I'm committing a sin by putting stacks on it
I found a set of "bellflower pipes" that go from 17/8", then 90° through 2 1/2 straight through resonators. She's a Stepside, so the stacks will go where the pass side step would be, out of the bed, but inside the body line.
So again: dual 2" head pipes, dual converters, 17/8" pipes about 12" long, then dual 2 1/2" resonators. Stock engine.
