Single 3 or 4 inch would be a good place to start. Dual 2 1/2 or 3 if you just want the cool factor. Not much room for the separate pipe on Fords. I'd do the exhaust first, then the intake to see how much it helps.

Air needs a place to go before you add more.

With a single 2.5" the area of the opening is 4.91 square inches
With a single 3" the area of the opening is 7.07 square inches
With dual 2.5" the combined area of the openings is 9.82 square inches
With a single 4" the area of the opening is 12.57 square inches
With dual 3" the combined area of the openings is 14.14 square inches

Draw your own conclusions....

Thumbs up

HMMMM,
But there still would be a restriction at the y pipe ,what could i do about that?if i went with 3 or 4 inch single?i think the opening is 2.5 is that right?That is why i mentioned 2.5 dauls free flowing from the y pipe back and straight through mufflers?But im not sure i need convincing.Or is there a bolt on system that i could buy?Or is there headers avalible?
