Well some of the Y pipes reduce to 2.5 before they go into the intermediate pipe so you might be ok ( unless you have the Y in front of you and it doesnt reduce)

If so then just get the shortest reducer you can find. The intermediate will let it slip in and IIRC has a long area to accept it so the added length should not hurt. 3" to 2.5, you can pick one up at a local parts store.
