Default Flex pipe??11?!?!??/?11??

I have had mixed options from numerous REPUtable mechanics and sponsors on where to locate the flex pipe (or 2) for a FM turbo set-up.

Option 1: a single 2.5" flex pipe right off of each 6.0 manifold......or

Option 2: A 3.5" flexpipe on my downpipe (my exhaust/DP will be primarily 3.5").


If I should go with option 2....where the F do I find one that big????

To find a large flew joint look at the big truck shops. The flex joint place depends on what is happening... I have one in the cross over for the log but nothing on the down pipe yet.

Just on one side? Wouldn't that create unequal turbuliance in each pipe that comes off the manifold? Or is it placed after they merge? I was planning on merging them RIGHT before the turbo.

Driver side over to the passenger side log manifold. The flex joint I have is in the middle.
Passenger side log to the turbo.
