me and my friend had this arguement before. Do larger diameter pipes give a deeper rumble? Do smaller diameter pipes give the cackle noise?

Larger pipe after the muffler(s) will give a deeper tone.

Right...smaller gives the cackle noise as well. Middle gives...well...middle of both.

2.25" would be a good size, nice and even.
