3 .. 3.5 ... it depends on your engine and what's before the muffler and cat(s) ...

I've always ran 2.5" pipe for my exhaust in all my vehicles.

I have run 2.5" in all of mine as well accept the Hoe. I ran 2.5" Y'd into 3" over the axle. But, thats going to change. All 2.5" front to back.

single pipe, min 3".

since your doing some work, have This installed as well. you will be glad you did. Its best flowing Y pipe merge available without going custom. $39.95

That merge is a 2.5 to 3". If I was you I would run 3" all the way back.
Just makes sense if you have ANY plans for more mods down the road..
