| On to the exhaust! Best configurations? |

Hello all,
I am getting pretty close in my buildup of my 1962 Galaxie 2 door hardtop where I think I need to make some exhaust decisions. (Working on a custom tranny x member, etc) I was wondering what you guys think would be the best system to make power. The Specs are as follows. 390 FE (.30 over) with Edelbrock performer intake/cam/lifters and timing set. This is primarily a stock rebuild, I think my compression ratio is a bit low less than 9.0 to 1 or so, not quite sure of this, C-6 tranny (Will be adding a Shift kit), 3.00 (Hoping to go for steeper gears) one legger (and posi once the budget allows). The intended use is primarily Street and some moderate stoplight action, but I am looking for a nasty sounding setup. I love the sound of 2 chamber (40 series) Flowmasters on a big block, so my main questions are these:
1)What pipe diameter should I use on a dual setup with 40 series flowmasters?
2)I am eyeing a set of Ford Powertrain headers, anyone have any experience with these, What is the collector diameter?
3)Where should I put the crossover? How will it affect the sound?
4)Will keeping the tailpipes short make the exhaust sound nastier, or does it not matter since the mufflers will be near the rear of the car? Does anyone have a suggestion as to where the best place to put the mufflers is? I was going to put them in the stock location, but that seems like a whole
lot of pipe and bends!
Thanks in advance for the info.
Rob.
