Would be better if the whole system was 3" as no point going 2.5"-3" then back to 2.5 again so if the rest of the system is 2.5 then just stick with that or replace it all with a 3" system

2.5 inch and worked fine on my hatch to 460bhp. 3 inch is fine but you find the bends on the pipe taper down sometimes rather than being consistent throughout.
