is it a stock motor??? numbers will vary, as gauges are different, so as long as all 4 are even, you're good. depends on you power goals for the exhaust size needed

2.5" exhaust will be sufficient for your needs

2.5" will work, but if you going to buy a whole new exhaust, just get a 3" and leave yourself plenty of room for future growth.

Yeah, 2.5" won't be much of a restriction. But if you don't have an exhaust yet, I'd just go with 3" in case you're ever looking into pushing more power.
