Exhaust Q

Hi, what size exhaust is recommended for a stock 350 (at least I think it's stock) with a 4 barrel in a 71 2wd 1/2 ton? It has 2" pipes on it now....I'd like to put a couple flowmasters on it. I'm figuring either 2 1/4 or 2 1/2...?

Thanks, Joe

LOL!! Gotta keep costs down a little...but that would be cool...though I think it would flow a little too much for my stock motor. I like my down low torque, would the 2 1/4" be better for that?
