Unless you're running a turbo, 3 inches is too big. Wow, that was my first post in a long ass time.

If the pipes are crush bent, I would go with 2.5" since the bends will be noticably thinner.

Resonators don't really effect your power noticeably. Unless you want to get friendly with local law enforcement I'd keep it on.
