I think the stock size piping on a 99 GT is about a 2.5 or 3' diameter. As far as exhaust goes I would recommend a flowmaster exhaust system, Probably about a 2.5 inch exhaust....

Your stock exhaust is 2.25'. I would probably go with a Bassani or magnaflow. Flowmasters are the best for 5.0's, not 4.6's. Get a 2.5' set-up.

Bigger pipes will increase exaust flow but it'll reduce exaust velocity. To get hp, you need to get exaust out as fast as possible. Bigger is better on the high-end but smaller is better on the low-end.
