Default Wagon exhaust

I am getting an exhaust to suit a 5.6L V8 in my wagon. Anyone have any suggestions as to what would be the go. I am going to get it made in stainless steel. I have read that 2.5" will be suffecient enough for the 8. I have the headers.

What is a full twin 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust in s.s. from the cat convertor back going to cost.( Keep in my mind I am going to need to get the cats). Around the $1,000 mark?

Any particular brands people have experience with.

Waits for Stiddy and Stav to say get 3" lol

3" for a V8 is the way to go.

Single 3" is good, but twin 2.5" for a stroker would be great. A single 2.5" is around $350 to $450 so double that and add a few hundred for cats and $1000 would be cheap - more like $1200, I'd say.

Thanks JC. Was going down the twin 2.5". I think my $1000 estimate was a base price minimum. Plus I want it in S.S. so add a bit there.

Have heard good things about Herrods and Di Fillipo. Haven't made up my mind yet on which brand to go if I choose a brand at all.
