exhaust questions
I will be having an exhaust installed in a 79 corvette this week. I would like to insure that I can install a spare tire at a later date. Does anyone have dimensions of a spare tire tub? I would like to provide to the muffler shop to insure I can fit the tub in once I find one?
Also is there anything I should ask for or request when I have this done?
I was thinking of requesting a tap incase I ever wanted to install a o2 sensor.
I have a 3" outlet on the hooker headers and 2.5" Magnaflow mufflers.
Have people run 3" through the cross member and should I ask for this?
Any clearance issues
I found a local shop that does a lot of custom work, they seam to know what they are doing, I just want to make sure I ask them the right questions.
It has a 350 that is supposes to make 400hp in it
Thanks
Chris

Have you thought about a X-pipe, or H-pipe? You might also want to check out AIRTIME's post of his 3in. exhaust to see how it'll fit:

forgot to mention that 3in. pipes are for cars with 600+ HP, but if that's what you want, go for it
. I'm running 3in. pipes on my Z28 and I don't have 600HP
, but I am planning on building an engine later on that will be at around that power range. Good luck.
