Stock exhaust tubing size 1.75". I have LCE header w/ 2.25" out. If in installed w/ air intake modification the torque and power gains are awesome. Used to have 2.5" on my old 87 22re w/ same header and intake... It would pop like a NASCAR when I left of the gas due to the backpressure. IMO go with 2.25" and you will be stoked.
