I will be using 2.5" pipes to accommodate upgrades to the motor in the future, but that is probably even a little big for my 6.0L with roughly 328hp. Just my 2 cents

Chris thanks for the 2 cents...
On my sons 5.3 LC9 we went with 2.5" duals with 40 flowmasters. The stock motor was 320 HP before doing anything to it. Not sure if it would have been better to go with 2.25 or not. with the tune and upgrades it runs strong. What do you think on running two 2-1/2" in to one 3"? pros/cons???
Thanks
Scott
