3 1/2 for sure. Plus it fits fairly well.

If you are sticking with a stock style catback I'd do 3", then take it to a shop and use a 4" flowmaster merge or similar and into a 4" pipe with a cutout, then reduce to the 3" after the cutout. I'd weld in some cats as well for smell and reduce rasp. (Modern cats flow well). Otherwise I'd go true duals over the axle.

Between those two, definitely the 3.5". Make sure you modify your Y so that it stays 3.5" all the way through.
