    3" Exhaust on Stock Lightning?

    Would a 3" Full exhaust be that bad on a stock 00 lightning? I'm currently looking for an exhaust at the moment, but I can get a full 3" exhaust with long tubes for a similar or cheaper price than the 2.5" exhausts online... I know that the stock exhaust is fine for the lifetime of the stock...

I will be pulling the heads off next weekend to check them out and will probably need to rebuild them. It looks like my valves are messed up on two cylinders, and I'm hoping to...
