not doubting you, but has anyone ever applied this theory to a dyno to substantiate? i would think 2" true duals would have substantially less backpressure than a singe 3". unless there's some physics involved that i'm not aware of.

no, its not. 2.5" max. 2" for true duals. 3" is far too large for 99% of the people on this board.
Thanks...I think stazi will be on tomorrow and give a more technical reason while making a fool out of said poster. 
But of course he will come up with some reason why he needs 3" exhaust. 
I think the only one with 3" exhaust NA is Dale Kortes...but he made 210whp with his 3L so

I did mean 3" single, I saw a kit on the trubendz site. Why would 3" be too large? Just asking before I make a mistake.I'm working on a stock CSVT now, but I plan on being highly modded when I finish, but I only wanted to do the exhaust once, thats why I figured I'd do the 3".
I don't "mod" I just fix what breaks!

3" single is still too big. search around duratec performance, you will find plenty of information about why.
just because they sell it doesnt mean its better! if "highly modded" includes s/c or turbo, then go for it. enjoy the losses with 3" until you get FI.
^^not trying to be mean, just stating facts. 
BTW chad, if that was a direct quote from your PM, double P0wn3d!!! he spelled cannot wrong!

3" is ONLY warranted if you're running forced induction, either Turbo or Supercharger, on a V6 Duratech either 2.5 or 3L. Putting that size exhaust on a N/A V6 or Zetec for that matter, is OVERKILL. The drop in velocity from that size exhaust will acutally DECREASE performance as the scavenging effect of fast moving exhaust gases will be all but irradicated. So if you want no torque and to sound like a truck go for it. But if your cramming air in there with a F/I device then it is definitely more a requirement - and NO Nitrous does not count as the aiflow increase even with nitrous is MINIMAL and does not justify a 3" exhaust. Nitrous only increases the CONCETRATION of O2 molecules in the intake is does not introduce more air to the intake in the proportions seen by turbos and superchargers.

Yes thank you! 2" for true duals...not to small, for me.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
