Default Single downpipe into dual pipe advice please

Would like to have some advice on the limits of a single 3.5 downpipe into dual 2.5 exhaust. I don't want to have a loudvalve or dump pipe and am willing to accept the limitations of that. Looking at using a vs racing 7875 turbo with a lq4. Nothing at all thats exotic in the setup. I would consider using a dual 3" but I would rather use what I have now if it will be ok.

Thank you

most 78/75 turbo's ive seen are 3" downpipe. dual 2.5 will not hurt it any if at all. I ran dual 3" from my 4" downpipe and it made no difference except carrying the extra weight.

If your using mufflers, I would prob run the straight thru, like Dynomax or something.

Dual 2.5" is slightly more area than single 3.5", so why would there be any problem?
