The most important thing is keeping those pipes smooth all the way to the TB.. I guess you could increase the size on the TB pipe, but no use for the others.

people go bigger as it gets close to the tb because cold air is denser and the air expands as it cools after the ic...at least thats my understanding of it...i have about 2" from the turbo and around 2.25" from the ic to the tb

umm, i like that answer

but i did it cuz 2.5 looked pretty nice and thats the same size the intercooler in and out are. oh and i could use the leftovers for downpipes on other projects...
