Is the 2 1/2 inch rule for single or dual exhaust?

It applies to either so if you have a single or dual it can be up to 2.5 inch.

Well, that's unfortunate that that rule eliminates over half of every production pickup in the last 5-7 years. Guess I won't be running overlanders...

OK, really popular to put duals on a vehicle, but, what if a guy wanted to have 4 inch(single) exhaust on his IDI diesel? Or a guy has a stock truck with an aftermarket 3"(single) cat back?I don't see how a rule can be so vague. Seems to leave an awful lot to tech crew discretion...

The tech crew will put the truck in the class it should be in if it is stock it will run stock class we do have rules that sometimes are not big problems in a class like stock class it is all done by tech and always fair to all racers

hereitgoes, Are you running a diesel truck. If so you would run class 300 drags or if there is at least 3 diesel trucks show up we would have there own class.

Don't know of any production gas pickup running larger than 2.5'' at the manifold collectors..... Technically a truck with 2.5'' collectors going into a 3'' exhaust is still running a 2.5'' exhaust, doesn't matter how big the pipe is downstream from the collectors. |

No, I do not, but, was simply making a point. Why would an n/a IDI be placed in 300? Yes, a 185 hp Diesel with a 100 lb crank and 3600 rpm (governed) limit would be way too fast for class 200. But I digress.
bsfarmer, that's my point. I'm completely fine with 2 1/2 from the manifolds(or headers, as the rules changes from 2009 state), but if someone likes the sound of a large single system, with catalytic converter, muffler, exiting behind the rear tire, why should he be penalized?
Sorry for the rant, but, isn't the intent of class 200 to be an entry level class for beginners or guys that can't afford to step up just yet? If guys with stock trucks with an exhaust mod can't run in 200, which is STOCK class, why would they come to a race to donate money in a class he has no chance in? I wouldn't, and this is a fantastic way to kill a class meant just for these trucks.
