Default What size for custom dual setup?

I am going to be running an LS6 intake, lid, TSP magic stick 3, and pacesetter LT headers. What size pipes would I need to be running for a custom dual setup? Thanks.

2.5" would be sufficient, but I'd go ahead and put 3" if you're not lowered.

2.5" will be fine unless you plan to make, what is is, >450 rwhp in the future.

Leaving that possibility open I would go 3" unless you are lowered, in which case I would return to stock ride height and go 3". Suspension geometry is a little off when lowered, and you might want to do something fun like spray it in the future.

If you're using an X crossover, you want the crossover diameter to match the header collector size. IE - 3" collectors, you would run at least 3" to the X. You can reduce after the X if you want.

This is what Dr. Gas recommends with their X.
