2 inch longtubes.For what engine.

I got my 5.3 in my 1stgen s10,and just picked up a 6.0 swap for my 1stgen s10 blazer. my ? is. igot qouted a set of longtubes with 2 inch runners 2runners in the frame and 2 outside the frame. I got qouted 950-1150 from a very well known shop here in tx. was wondering, would they be best for the 5.3 or the 6.0 with l92 heads?

Neither, 2" is way too big for both. 1 3/4" is generally a safe bet.

1 3/4" might be a little on the large size for the 5.3L but it gives you room to grow into I guess.

6.0L w/ L92s is what I have and I run 1 3/4" headers.
