There's no such thing as too big. Every b-series will see gains across the power band from a 3" exhaust.

Nothing wrong with 2.5", you'll see more power the bigger you go though.

Tanabe makes good stuff. At least I think so. $230 is a good price if it's in good shape.

on a dyno full throttle youll see more power with bigger, drivability and part throttle will kinda suck with 3" 2.5 is just fine though.. i wouldnt go any bigger on a DD unless you boost it
