Default 2.5 inch - 2.36 inch considered a bottleneck?

I was planning to run a JDM ITR header to a carsound cat to a RSR Exmag cat-back. Now I know that the header's collector is 2.5 inch, and it would taper down to the cat-back's 2.36 inch piping. Would that be a noticeable restriction? Would it be worth it to get a 2.5 inch cat-back?

is it considered bottleneck/step down?...YES

You also forgot about the catalytic convertor. =[

EDIT: Unless it's also 2.5".

The cat is a Carsound 2.5 inch. Or I might just run a testpipe.

A 2.5 inch exhaust would only benefit you if you upgrade your internals. If you are only doing I/H/C/E, it's no biggie.
