Which part is 2.5"? If the pipes coming off the collectors are 2.5", into a single 3" pipe, then I'd say very little restriction at all, really.

But it isn't a genuin y pipe. They made it like a T shape and not a Y. It is setup like shown below. The reason im asking this question is because it felt like it had 10x as much pull running open headers...

Hard to say how much HP this is costing you but quite a lot. I would say a minimum of 30 and could be a lot more based on some stories Dyno Don has told from what he has seen over the years.

I'd say it's holding you back enough to not keep it, why not attempt to have a shop create a 3" y?
With exception to the "T-pipe" you have a great setup.

Why not try a Y-pipe from www.Mufflex-Performance.com? It bolts right up if you get a 4" to 3" adapter. I think what you're looking for is on pages 7 and 8. It's 2 3" into 1 4" collector. Looks something like this:
