Stock is 2.25 I believe, which is plenty for a neon. Hell I only have a 2.5" pipe on my built camaro...

ummm..yeah....if they pipe is too bit it will rob you of power just the same as if the pipe was too small....
3" pipe shouldnt be used unless the car is fully modified and running a huge turbo....

even on my fully built turbo r/t i was only running 2.5"

When you get your new header, save the money on the exhaust piping and use it elsewhere, where it will help.
