you cant go wrong with 2.5" for custom exhaust or 3" if you plan on going turbo ;)

depends on what part of the manifold your talking about primaries or secondaries?

3" offers best hp on na or turbo. 2.5" is a good compromise for torque and hp and noise.

In talking about the primary
I'll measure the exhaust ports and go from there
