I am going to use a 3.5'' to 4 inch straight pipe that dumps forward of the rear tire. Back pressure will be nearly 0.
I have looked at pictures of different setups using the banks turbo manifold and it looks like a good idea to at least wrap some stuff on the passanger side.

I am running a diesel engine so it always runs as lean as possible at light and medium load. Stuffing more air mass into the cylinder will help it run even leaner.
