4 inch pipes won't do a lot of good, 'some' amount of back pressure is good in an exhaust system. It's way above my head in terms of flow dynamics, it has something to do with exhaust velocity versus cfm.
Bigger isn't always better. I saw glovemeister in another post that you were going to go with a 950 cfm carb? That might be a bit overboard for a 460 that isn't otherwise souped up for racing...

A 950 on even a middle of the road built 460 is overkill, a 750 will keep it happy until the 525 hp mark or so.

For a mild 460, dual 2.5" is fine, same with that W, even 2.25 would probably be ok.
I have a set of Hedmans on my 460, they fit fine, my old 351W I had a set of flow tech's on, they fit well too. .

Yeah I was joking. Look at it this way, what is easier to get flowing a keep flowing water through a 1.5 inch tube or water through a 3 inch tube. Same concept just different sizes.

Hooker Super Comps...you will not be disappointed by fit, leaks, etc. Headers are one of the areas it doesn't pay to cheap out.
I ran/run Super Comps on my 76 V8 Courier and occasionally the bolts would loosen up, even so, they never leaked. The flanges are thick and don't warp and they are just built right.
Others could be fine, but I put my trust in Hookers.
