Agree 100% backpressure only hurts you, it doesn't help.

2.5" is plenty for that combo, but 3" would be bada$$. It did on my 355. Flowmaster sells a universal exhaust kit that works well on our trucks. That is what I made mine with. I am actually selling mine and you can see pictures in the classified section.
