In theory the bigger diameter exhaust pipes should flow more. You're not gonna notice a difference and definetly don't need 3" on a engine with only 4.6L of displacement. Stick with 2 1/2 unless you are running A LOT of power.

This may not be the case with a mac catback, but when I had my o/r x and SLP LM I. I noticed a lot of loss down low. Put flows on with the o/r x and helped a great deal.

I dont' know about losses in power. I'm ordering MAC LT's and O/R H-pipe today so we'll see soon.
