This is so funny.
I posted that answer on the Camaroz-28 board and got slammed!
They all said 3". I was rather surprised, I agree about back flow.
Wanna cheat?
Try to find a V-8 car in the yard and measure the pipe.
May be able to get it for free and I'll bet it's 2 1/2". Good quality pipe, too!
Then see if 3" is worth paying for.
What I'd really like to do is get a way smoother exhaust flow from the exhaust manifolds to the CC. That a harsh bend.

I had a 3" pipe on my 2.8 but took it off. It actually seem to loose power (Lack of back pressure) but I also was running w/o a converter at the time. The whole system at the time was the 3" into a flowmaster with the dual 2.5" outlets.
