    Exhaust upgrade?

    Hi all, I have upgraded my 3.5 to a 3.9 and now am fitting the Edelbrock carb to give it a bit more beans. The exhaust I have on it is the original 3.5 part - the pipes look very small - to improve performance would it be worth upgrading to something a bit bigger - any recommendations? Cheers
