Default

Are we talking a single or dual setup? Single a 3" is great but for dual it's a little much. 2.5" would be better for dual.

Advantages of larger pipe is better exhaust scavenging at higher RPMs but worse at lower RPMs costing you some low end torque and power.

It's all give and take but your butt dyno really won't notice any difference.

Drone all depends on your setup muffler/resonators etc.
