Not too big, but not necessary unless you plan on running higher boost (15 psi or higher).

between 2.5 and 3 there will be no difference at such low psi......though the 3 does give good room for more power when u up the boost.......3 will also be louder

if you doing a custom exhaust anyway, might as well go 3inch, you'll hate yourself later on if you're cranking up more boost, WHICH you WILL.

2.5 is not too big for N/A neither(with some..cough abunch of modificiations)

kteller would give you more info on this one

actually there still will be a difference with the turbo lag time. you dont want your turbo to have a hard time pushing air out.

3" is gewd

Yep, 2.5" is perfect for N/A with some mods. And I mean mods like ported head. Not just I/H/E.

3" is perfect for what your running, especially since your probably going to crank up the boost. Just make sure it's all mandrel bent.
