what size exhaust?

Im gettin my custom exhaust this weekend. im goin with a straight pipe all the way back to a straight through muffler, what size piping should i get to optimize hp? i heard if u go to big, u lose backpressure which means lose hp. whats a good size to obtain peak hp? thanks

2.5 is a little too big for d16 unless you got turbo. Trust me, I've tried it and it sux. Sometimes back pressure is a good thing, especially when you have little torque and you want to go up steep hills...
