2.5 is fine for that setup. Use mandrel bend if you can, otherwise the flow is only as good as the smallest point. If you have the availability do 3 inch that way you wont have to upgrade should you do more later on.

In some areas, bigger really is better! Turbo exhaust is one of these areas. What Hemizach said can be true for normally aspirated engines but not for turbos. Go with 3" and don't look back. Otherwise you may end up doing it later anyway.

That is a beautiful car. I would add a 3 inch cat just to keep it a little bit quieter with the purpose of avoiding encounters with the law. I bet a greddy muffler does not muffle very much.

Ive not heard a Greddy muffler before, Im sure its a good product, but costs a good chunk. The sound is all up to you and what you like. Id avoid adding a cat, it will just rob you of some power.
