Default 2.5" vs. 3" Y-Pipe

I'm hoping to invest in a new set of headers in the future and one of the sets I'm most interested in comes with a 2.5" y-pipe. Since most people agree that 2.5" true duals are as adequate as 3" true duals for 95% of street driven vehicles, could the same be said of a 2.5" y-pipe? I assume so, but I thought it best to consult those more versed in the matter than I before finalizing my decision.

Thanks,
Josh
