I believe what he did was use the very beginning of a 2.5” pipe with flare, maybe 2” and then welded that onto a 3” mandrel bent head pipe. So the very beginning is necked down but the rest is all 3” . Not ideal I guess compared to 3” the whole way. I believe it’s the same flange as a standard 2.5”. Like I said they call these oversized but comparing the ID of these compared to my other standard aftermarket manifolds there wasn’t much of a upsize but there is some.
