depends on things.. my car for instance gains like 3whp going from a full 2.5" turbo back exhaust to a full 3".. not worth all the extra $$ and custom work IMO..
the more air you are moving though, the larger the exhaust you will need. if youve got a big ass turbo, youll 3" exhaust. if youve got a smaller turbo with quick spool, a 2.5" exhaust will be perfectly fine

Like they said it depends on your power goals, but imo 3" is the way to go. You may not make much power now, but you will probably want more later on and it will help.
