I'm running 3" exhaust from the T3 starting with a 3" down pipe from Stinger (modded for a better fit in the Pinto) thru a cat and a turbo muffler (both bought from Summit). The turbo muffler has the exact dimensions as the stock muffler and mounts as if stock except for the big holes on either end
. My Pinto is lowered three inches and the exhaust does not scrape on sharp driveway edges or parking lot speed bumps.
Only pic I have of the exhaust. I chopped and wacked a couple of 180* mandrels down to where the double muffler clamps are. From there forward have since be redone a muffler shop to tuck it up more (I had a h3ll of a time figuring where to bend and how much with the Pinto up on jack stands and me laying on my back.
If you're going to a fmic, the ECU from an intercooled '87/88 Turbocoupe (LA2/LA3)will support close to 400hp IIRC.

PS cat because in Oregon, anything '75 and later gets smogged checked.
