atleast 2.75", 3" is a good idea though on anything over 200 or so. Theres a chart that tells you what size piping you need with the horsepower you make, but like trust said, we need to know how much you plan on making first of all.

I thought 3" is good until about around the 400 hp range. If he's just doing a gsr swap and boost he wont be making near that much.
