i went 2.25" on mine.. only becaue the muff shop said that 2.5" wouldn't bend tight enough for all the turns it had to make.... either way it stil out performs my old 3" single system by a landslide.
Go 2.5" tho.. Might as well

Single 3"?!?
Hmm, I first thought about that, but now I bought me a H-Pipe, so now I think I go on dual 2,5".
So now the next questions....
H-Pipe, as near as possible to the headers, right?
But where to put the muffler? Near the Headers or near the end of the system? And how noisy is the car, when letting the first muffler away, and use only 2 Flowmaster dual/dual? Or what would you suggest. But keep in mind, I live in Germany, so not to loud .
I hope you unerstand what i'm tryin, to say

Or go with dual in a dual/single and than between both a single 3" and in the next muffler single/dual. Do not find so much dual/dual's til now.
And I don't know if there is enough space for 2 single/single together. You know?
Oh, another question.... . wow i'm thinking too much.
I do not plan to lower the car, so would you put the new system the old way? passenger side and so one....
Or, to get the best results, straight under the floor, one left one right?

Dual exhaust....say goodbye to your ground clearance. Single 3" I believe has been proven to flow about the same as dual 2.5".... I'd have to agree with Shifty.

altho true..True Duals sound soooo much better
i have 3-4" of clearance to the lowest point of my TD's. I would have more if i used the propper headers for the car
