2000 Ford F53 6.8L V10 Exhaust System

Since the catalytic converter and muffler are missing on the F53, obviously i need to reinstall them.

I'd like to get a generic cat if cheaper, but i dont know how to size it.

I'm considering supercharging the engine (some day), so i'd like to take a holistic approach to the exhaust system. "Tuning" if you will.

1) how close to the Y do i want the cat?
2) what size tubing for proper throughput?
3) exhaust manifold recommendations.
4) i'd like an efficient muffler. One that is high[er] performance, but as quiet as possible.

nah on the other side of the y would be most fine unless you wanted to run two resonators which wouldn't be necessary.
