Unhappy Exhaust

Just need some suggestions on installing a dual exhaust system for a 86 Bronco. I have already lined up (not purchased yet) some FlowTech shorty headers from Jegs. I have not seen so far an exhaust kit (dual) for the Bronco. Oh yeah whats the best diameter pipe for this size: 5.8L 351W. Or should I just stick with the single exhaust.
Appreciate any and all sugestions. So far all my questions get answered just searching thru the site. This is the best!!!

Well as far as pipe size for your motor I really cant help as I have a 302, But I can tell you I went with a set of Heddman headers, with dual flowmaster 40 series out the back and love it.

Nice sound good power. Just my .02 cents.

For duals, use 2"pipe.

Talking Exhaust

I want to say thank you for all the replies. My favorites folder is getting full, under the "Truck" folder anyway. I had pacestter exhaust on a 81 CJ7 with out any problems. I've used hooker headers, headman and a couple of others along the way at one time or another. The biggest problem has always been matching the right part number to the vehicle in use. JC whittney has always had this problem and sometimes a defect in the header itself in manufacturing, but always when I ordered from JC. I've been out of the loop for a couple of years so I'm basicaly starting over. Trying to get used to shopping for parts again.
Gettin plenty of snow here so I'm back to work.
Thanks again.

Exhaust

Just one more...I wish I had found this site a long time ago.
and thanks for the exhaust site info SuperDave..... excellent!!
I don't know if this is proper or not. But some friends of mine have been getting hit by a worm thru the e-mail ( I have a firewall before my PC) it's called WORM_KLEZ.H so if ya see it delete it. It just wants to take over and mass mail thru your e-mail program.
Knowledge is power.
