unless you go huge power, there is never any reason to have more then 2.5in on a neon

Leave it the way it is right now and weld the muffler on. However if you do go bigger go no larger then 2.5.

On low boost it will be, on N/A I think 2.25 is still the best for a Neon, as long as its fairly free flowing....for a turbo Neon, i would only go for the 2.5" (which is what i'm going for) unless you have a larger turbo and running more boost.
