If you are running an E housing, stay with 2.25"

If you are running a S housing, run a 2.5"

I would suggest matching the diameter of your T-body...

2.25 will flow more than enough for most peoples needs. Bigger pipe = more lag, and more expensive mandrel bends. 2.5" is (even if only marginally) harder to run because it's a bit bigger.

Some say to use 2.25" to the intercooler and 2.5" from there onwards... I must say that 2.5" does look better in the engine bay. It's really just prefrence.
