Default 2.5 or 3" X pipe

What do you guys think.
Should I come straight off the 3” collector to a 3” X pipe setup to dual 2 ˝” Dynomax Welded then turn down before the axle, or should I reduce to 2 ˝ “ at the collector and use a 2 ˝” X pipe to the muffler’s and turn downs. Car Has LT’s and a TR 230/224, 918’s Ti retainers. Redline will be set at 6800 for now.

I'm curious about the effect of a 2 1/2 inch x pipe.

really, its all about clearence. 2.5 is great for a daily driver, but 3" is gonna be too close i would say. The 3" is going to make some more power as well
