If its 535, you need 2.25inlet diameter. Get Magnaflow tru x pipe.

I've made an exhaust with both setup.
Can't says i felt a difference going from 2.5 to 3 inch.

I made these myself, and I learned how to weld doing these, so no comments on weld quality

2.5 long X-pipe, is an X-pipe made by Corsa for Corvette's
3 is the short Magnaflow x-pipe

Can't say there was much of a difference.
Barely noticeable.
