Default 2" diameter downpipe too small?

i ordered a SSA t3 manifold off ebay and the downpipe that comes with it is only 2" in diamater. the setup i plan on running this is downpipe to is a 2.5" test pipe to 2.5" greddy mandrel bent exhaust if that helps any. my question is, do you guys thing the 2" downpipe is too small? or would this work fine.

too small, it will affect spooling time and you will have a bottleneck on your sistem with that small DP..anyways it is better to custom Fab your own Downpipe..It never bolts 100% right when you buy it like that..Specially SSA je je je...

Is that 2" I.D.? Or O.D.? If that's a total 2" O.D., then damn that's a small *** downpipe! I think my wastegate dump is 2" O.D.! LOL!

When did greddy start makeing 2.5" exhausts for acura/honda applications? Last that I heard is that all their exhaust will bolt up to the stock cat without modification. That means that they all start off at clost to 2" OD.
