Default Own exhaust

This weekend I am thinking to go to the store and get single exhaust peices and make my own exhaust and adding tip. I dont plan on buying a new Cat or anything. I was thinking to maybe just do from the cat back you know that hole one foot. But, does anyone have an suggestions, size of piping, should I get bigger pipes for the hole thing. I am just looking for it to look nicer, sound better, an performance is always a plus. Let me hear everyones IMO.

3" isn't even a question unless the car is seriously built up.

If you're close to stock and haven't even went into the engine, a 2.25 inch exhaust would be fine.

The only mods I have are a cold air intake. I think Ill just put a new pipe after the cat and throw on a tip. I think the one I liked is like 2.5 or something. But you recommend running 2.25 pipe from my heads to my cat...??

2.5 sounds good cuz if you go with the full 3 you need engine mods beside cai like headers etc. so you wont loose alot of pressure...
