All depends on your goals for the car. a 2.5 i believe starts to restrict at 512 flywheel horsepower. so there's your choice. my stock height has plenty of clearance with 3".

On my f-body I went with a true dual over the axle system. I used 2.5'' and used bullets and cats. Plenty of sound and power. It's all about preferance, and what your plans are in the future. I did h/c/i and bolt on's, and 2.5''' is still plenty. Just my two sense.

Go true duals, then under the axle. Then, have them mount the mufflers under the gas tank. You'll never have to worry about clearance again. That's what I did with some knock-off single chambers, and I couldn't be happier. The video was before I had the mufflers moved back under the gas tank though. I had tons of clearance problems at stock height with them under the back seats. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/9...ust_192864.htm
