I'm in the process of swapping my 3L and would like to consider upgrading the exhaust somewhere down the road. I'll be replacing the stock exhaust manifolds during the swap with the MSDS Headers and Y-pipe. Any suggestions on what type of mufflers (and resonator) and the size of the piping??? Should I stick with 2.25" or should I go to 2.5"??? I'm looking for something that will sound good (and intemidating) without a lot drone and rasp plus add a little more punch to the 3L.

Also, I haven't done much with the stock intake on my CSVT other than replacing the paper element with a K&N filter.
