Default need help with stacks

I have a 96 cummins 12v with 316k on it its all stock except for a 0 fuel plate and a built tranny and pyrometer. I bought two 6 in. bull haluer stacks but i need the t pipe and am not sure what to do about the pipe goin from the turbo to the t pipe should i just leave it stock or put a 5 in. or something on it. I was just wandering where the best place to get a t pipe from is? thanks.

your surely better off to run 4" turbo back... 5" might be too much if you dont have enough power

What?

A Cummins doesnt need any backpressure. Go big or go home.

Generally with anything thats got a turbo, the less pressure after the turbine the better!

F' it, just pull the downpipe off and let it dump right out of the turbine housing
