The 2" would be perfect for the 2.5L NA, the 2.25" for 3L NA and SC'ed 2.5L. 2.5" would work for 3L SC'ed cars though. http://www.bnmotorsports.com "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my CEG brothers.

YEP! I couldn't remember who it was... I did lots of research on true duals a year or so ago... when I couldn't afford it LOL.

Dual 2.5" pipe is major overkill. You will actually drop performance due to loss of exhaust velocity. Even a boosted 3L would have problems pushing enough airflow through dual 2.5" piping. I definitely hope they do not use this oversized piping! I even think 2.25" duals would be much too big on all save a boosted 2.5L SVT or well modified 3L. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

FI applications may benefit from bigger but that's about it.... None of the 2.5" catbacks (CTA, Brullen) make more power than the 2.25" Bassani (make about the same) on the 2.5L thats at least mild/moderately modded.... SHO Shops aftermarket pipe for a 3L SHO is 2.5 and some of them are at 265 FWHP with this 2.5" single.... Just my 0.2..I think custom mandrel true duals is a great CDW27 open market niche,,go for it! 1999 Amazon Green SVT Contour (#554/2760) "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." -Soren Kierkegaard (as posted by Jato)
