They are both 3". Neither muffler should be overly restrictive. I don't think I've heard a Skunk2 to really comment on its specific sound characteristics. If it's anything like their other exhausts, it'll be retardedly loud and annoying though.

I have the thermal 3 inch with no resonator and it actually very quite, skunk2 on the other hand is super loud with a resonator.

Thermal 3inch no cat on my crx and it is very quiet. But since its a crx I believe the muffler is bigger then the other models.

I have the Vibrant 3inch, no cat, no resonator. Its pretty loud but a different kind of loud. Still a little raspy like most honda exhausts but much deeper in tone. It made very good power and has lasted years with no problems and amazing fitment.
