NO LOWERING.....I agree then..... go 3" .mines 3" and speedbumps are troublesome to say the least.

2.5" inch collector is what will hold back the flow. With the Long Tubes you would be better off with a 3" or even a 3" x 3" ---> 3.5" collector. That would be best. Then 3.5" back to your catback. If going custom, they should be able to tuck it up there nicely, such that it won't hang low. With a ypipe your collector will be the biggest limiting factor in flow.
Thanks for all the info... I will be building it with those magna flow spun cats, (still trying to figure out which style) fowmaster collecters, and flowmaster merge. 3 inch it is!

I think you should do a 3" x 4" Flowmaster merge with a 4" x 3" reducer, since you'll have to have one anyway. This is what QTP uses on their stuff, and works great for power. It also lets you hack the reducer one day and have a 4" system like mine. 
Ok so how does this look for the y pipe build? Should have everything here besides the mandrel bends, and the clamps. Let me know if I am going 100% in the right direction

I got my 4" x 3" reducers from Summit, they were only sold in pairs.
