This exhaust would be on a single turbo setup. Fwiw, two 2.5" pipes flow roughly half of a single 5". Just curious if there is room between the crossmembers and the body for the 5". Thanks for the replies

In theory yes but one muffler vs two and the scavenging effect plus velocity makes 2.5 far superior

But yes for turbo get a fat downpipe in there and don't go to long
