Supposedly, 2 1/4 is optimal for a d-series.

60mm is optimal...D-series doesnt produce enough backpressure to need 2.5" piping

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by rebohn &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">with 2.5 increase or lost hp? gain</TD></TR></TABLE>

Increase of HP but loss of low end TQ

60mm is metric...because thats what all of the good japanese exhausts say. Its 2.36." For your case, i'd just say do 2.25" Are you gonna have an exhaust shop do a custom catback or something? because they NEVER fit right and they dont use stainless steel pipes so it usually rusts after a year...not to mention they are crush bent so they dont have the flow that mandrel bent catbacks do
