Default 2.5" or 3" exhaust

I own a 2004 STI and im wanting to get an exhaust sorted for it. Im going for a cobra backbox to start with, and gradually get the whole system done (without the missus noticing ).
Question is, what size pipework do i want? the aim is to mod to 350bhp eventually and don't want to get the exhaust wrong!
any help is greatly appreciated!

sorted, i thought the 3" would start to lose torque.
