Default 2.5" or switch to 3"

Right now my exhaust is a full 3" manderal bent but the first 6" off the turbo is 2.5" which is 2 90 deg bends cut and welded together.

I am using a t3/t04e 57 trim .48a/r turbo and and shooting for around 20 psi of boost and 300-350 whp range.

How much of a difference would the 3" make?
