Get the 3in...its a little too big but you can still weld it on fine.

3". They'll just fill in the gap with weld. Or they'll flare out a small pice of pipe to smooth the transition.

Do you plan on getting a catback in the future? If you do, I would get a cutout installed afterwards.

nah, no use in getting a catback. waste of money. might get a muffler to replace the stock one, but why get new i pipe, muffler, and outlet pipes when all im really doing is replacing the muffler?? anyway, this is just a small mod for right now cuz im on a tight budget at the moment. and im sick of this quiet car
