Default hotside question

I am making my own rearmount setup. I plan on using stock manifolds, cat deletes, and large diameter slp y. What do you guys think about using the stock piping from that point on to run to the turbo? Or is this what most people do anyway? If I can remember its 2.5" I think, maybe 2.75". I plan on using a mp70 turbo. Thoughts?

I don't see why not. Are you going to wrap all the hotside piping?

yes sir all of it. I was just wondering if most guys do some kind of custom hotside that's all. I have a lot of exhaust pipe laying around, so I figured it would be good to use that.

When I did the STS kit on my Avalanche it had me chop the exhaust just in in front the rearend and just add their stuff on the end of the stock exhaust. So what you are doing sounds fine.
