Proper diameter for mufflers....

I'm having a new set of headers put on my 390 in my 1967 F-250 "High Boy." The Muffler shop told me to go ahead and order the parts I liked and bring them in....so, I am unsure of the correct muffler/Cross-pipe diameter. The Dynomax Headers have a 3 Inch exit (model 85066).....do I want to keep the full 3 inches all the way out, or do I need to use a smaller diameter for the piping and mufflers? The mufflers are going to be the Flowmaster 50's, if that makes any difference.

Since they are duals, run 2.5". Too big and there won't be enough backpressure on the system for the engine to run well.
