If he plans on getting around 350hp or more out of it, I would say 3". But if he isnt then 2.5" is fine

Please don't make your simple generalizations. Up to about 350-400 horsepower, you really won't be able to tell the difference between a 2.5 inch and a 3 inch piping. And 2.5 inch exhausts generally sound better in my opinion.

Go with the 3 in diameter if its turbo plus with 3 inches he could use the spray more efficiently.

He'll be pissed later on down the road if he doesn't get a true 3" exhaust off the start. Now I"m starting to feel restriced w/ my full 2.5" exhaust.
