Default V band on a truck manifold size help?

I want to weld some vbands on truck manifolds but don't know the size vband to get. Did a search but couldn't find it. Maybe I am just not using the correct words. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.

I used 2.5 stainless v-bands with 309 rod (I'll find out if I did it right when I fire it up this spring).

Make sure to put flex-pipe right after the v-band. That will help from cracking down the road and stress on that weld.
