Default civic 99 si w/itr b18c swap and with 3 inch exhaust piping

hey i need some advice on what i should do. I have a honda civic 99 si usdm which used to have a b16a2 drag turbo kit on it, but I decided to go all motor and did a b18c ITR swap. Thing is i kept the Thermal RD 3 inch cat back exhaust system and got it welded to my cat and used the ITR headers 4-2-1. Should I get a 2'5 inch exhasut? The reason I ask is am I losing power buying keeping the 3inch? Any help would be great

you're not loosing power you're loosing torque with the 3 inch. get a 2.5 or a 2.25 (if it's a stock engine)
