Default Recommended exhaust size?

I'm hoping to purchase a stock '02 WS-6 upon my return to the states and am purchasing ARH LT headers, electric cut outs, CAI, and other mild bolt ons. My question is what would you recommend the best size headers and exhaust would be for me? Its a stock engine, as mentioned before, and I have a friend that tunes with HP tuners.

Any advise is appreciated.

Thank you.

Thought I should add it'll be true duals, no cat (its legal in my state), and dual mufflers. Thanks.

Lol NO CATS are illegall in all 50 states its just your state along with mine dont do emissions testing but you can still get ticketed for it.With that said I'd say dual 2.5 or a single 3-4" seems to be the most popular and flow well.
