downpipe worries

im having a hard time deciding what size dp to order. i originally was going to buy the 3'' zzp dp. talked to a few friends and now they have me second guessing myself.

would 3'' hurt me? keep in mind i plan to go 2.5 catback.

If you don't have a good header the 3" dp isn't going to help you much.
Since you're just doing the 2.5" cat back, I don't see much point in the 3" dp though.
