Default STS Piping Size?

What size is the piping in the STS kit? It looks like a mixture of 2 1/2 and 3. Please let me know sides and diameters. Home brew kit closer to the Y pipe in the works

2 1/2 to the maf then 3" from there to tb
if building you own kit go 3" all the way. will give you more room to grow when you want to....

You might run into issues going too much bigger, as it just becomes a bigger volume to pressurize. Also it will reduce the velocity with a bigger dia. pipe. Something to think about.

Does anybody know what size the inlet is on our throttle bodys. I need to buy a 90deg. silicon coupler for the throttle body and my trucks in the shop or I would go measure it.

I'm not saying it can't or shouldn't be done. But just be aware of the possible consequences. I imagine that it would become a necesity though at some point.
