Default 2.5" or 3" bore Cat back exhaust?

Hey guys, I'm running a 2.5" bore cat back at the moment, Is their any major differences in getting a 3" bore cat back apart from better flow and being ready for a true 3" TBE system.

Thinking of a new cobra exhaust and have the option of 2.5" or 3" bore.

SB03 Subaru Impreza Turbo WRX and STI (01-07) - Cat-Back System (Non-Resonated)

Any advice or opinion would be magic guys.

2.5 is good for over 500 & can give better spool. You'd gain more with a decat of sports cat.

Nicer raspyer noise when not oversized for your power too!

As said, till you get to 480+, 3" is overkill!
