Default 3" or 2.5" exhaust

This is for a drag gen II kit. I plan to boost around 8-9 psi. What would be the ideal size for that kit on a D16y8

I'm always asking this too. I know bigger is better, but to what point? What I mean is: 3" is better than 2.5", but how much better? Enough to make it worth the extra cost and noise?

If I'm not mistaken, 3" will always be the best choice for a turbocharged application. I guess if it were a really small turbo, 2.5" would be about as good, but turbos like to breath with minimal backpressure.
