2 1/2" would be fine. Keep the bends to a minimum unless you use mandrel bent tubing.

if you're running a high rise intake, go with three inch... it will sound awesome. And the amount of torque you'll lose will be barely noticable over 2-1/2 pipe, especially if you're using a high rise intake, as they are tuned for higher rpm horsepower anyway

I run 3" true duals on my trans am (437 stoker, .500 lift, Ram Air heads) and the sound is amazingly deep at idle and it screams like a top fuel dragster
