Exhaust

I have to completely replace my exhaust because the PO hacked it together, will 2.25" duals be fine? I would be using an X pipe so it wouldn't be straight "True" duals

If you feel compelled to have two of everything, then yes a 2.25" exhaust plenty for a stock engine.

I already have all the bends and pipe to run from the headers down to where the Y collector would go just not sure if I want to put an X and two Mufflers or just the Y. Engine is Bored .30 over and has a mild cam + 6 liter tune up other than that it's stock

Save your coin and just do a single 2.5" system.

After getting a lot of recommendations from this board when I put on a new exhaust last year I ultimately decided on long tube headers into a "y" and 2.5" the rest of the way back along the passenger side. This is what most members here do with these trucks and can say I am pleased with how everything turned out. A 3" single is also a good idea, but I'd forget about an X pipe and dual exhaust. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I'd put a single 2.5" and dump it right in front of the rear tire. It's a simple, cheap setup and works flawlessly.

I suggest finishing the system out completely with a tail pipe. I've had turn down exhaust under the bed and it is just something that gets annoying after a while.
