I used the search but nothing came back.... I'm not sure what the size of my stock exhaust is, but leaning towards borla. I had a Borla Pro XS on my ranger and I loved it. The size was a 2.5". I've seen (read actually) that some guys have run anywhere from 2.25" to 3". I thought 3" was a little too big to run just for a CAI. So I was curious as to what size tubing is everyone is using, and I do want to keep my cats due to the damn state of California and all their smog laws, and the po-po's that enforce it. I don't mind sacrificing a few ponies to keep my truck from getting pulled.

So I take it 2.5" is the way to go for the 3.5? I know 3" is overkill fro these trucks unless you have a built engine of some kind... I'm gonna go with the Borla Pro XS, Unless some of you MBRP owners out there can convince me otherwise... Thanks for everyone's input!

Thats what I figured because I'm running full 2.5 no cats from my header with a super 40 and it doesn't have any low end bog at all thats weird that the 4 and 5 cyls run the same size tubing but 3" would be over kill on the 5 cyls im sure...
