You can run whatever size pipe fits your app, and you obviously already know that the smaller pipe will limit the power. I personally would run atleast a 3" single pipe, if at all possible. Even though you are not trying to make a ton of power, a 3" pipe may put you closer to 300hp than your goal of 250.
What exactly are you asking? Is it going to be a restriction? No, not at stock levels. And if you're talking about the LS1 only making 250rwhp they make more than that bone stock through an automatic.

Thankyou for the replies .... 250 at the wheels is good for a patrol it is measured through my 35 inch tires and massive gearbox transfercase and large diff so getting 250 without a cam is sorta at the top end in my app was more worried about the engine getting hotter as it will be a smaller tail pipe , also was thinking 2.5 inch as I have the muffler and 100cell stainless cat already sitting here spare But then was looking at the magnaflow supercharger that bolts right in the valley with a water to air in it , so twin 2.5 inch will be more suited ,but gets up there in delivery as I live in Australia
2.5 isnt horrible, but not ideal. Can you run a 3in pipe into your 2.5 muffler, then back to 3in again? That will not hurt it at all.
