Default size of turndown to get?

i know this relates to my other post too much, but i need an answer asap. ok, i bought the car with shorty headers, a catted h pipe and flowmaster catback. im droppin the car off to the have the h pipe replaced with an o/r prochamber n dumped flowmasters. my question is, what size turndowns should i buy for the flowmasters? im thinking they are 2.5" right? so, a 3inch bolton style turndown would be the best? or have a 2.5" tip welded on would be better? thanks

Never ask a man about the size of his turndown.

dumps are for dummies...they provide maybe 1-2 horsepower and the give back is the fumes can kill you. I hope anyone running dumps gets a $hit load of tickets like the deserve
