It would depend on the turbo. If you were running that much on like a t3 then 2.5 would be sufficent. But if it was on say a sc61 then i would want a 3". Also the 3" would help spool the turbo quicker.

sc61 is a bigger turbo and uses a t04e housing. It is rated up to about 700hp where as a normal t3 depending on specs would most likely be limited to about 300-350hp.

I think only thermal makes a 3inch exhaust for hondas right now.

Right on.

And trust me...250whp is a whole hell of a lot of fun.
250whp and traction would be a shitload cooler than 300whp and no traction, thats for sure.

250whp can be attained for around $2k....not bad at all considering people pay the same for some pipes and a CF intake to get them 165whp.

Quick explanation, you have the turbine and the compressor. A hybrid turbo, like the SC61, utilizes a T3 turbine and a T04e compressor, typically. Rather than a straight T3, which would have a smaller compressor housing which makes for less top end, or a straight t04, which would have a huge turbine housing for lots of lag. Best of both worlds, basically.
