You could buy a 2.25" testpipe because most 3" catback will come with a transition or adapter piece (2.25"-3") that will allow you to bolt it to a stock exhaust.

No, because the cat-conv. flange is not aligned--the flange on downpipe end is turned--unless, you buy a straight pipe with a swivel flange.

You could probably get away with the 2.5 inch testpipe.

I have the 2.5 inch on mine with the stock downpipe GS-T catback(2.25). It fits ok. The 2.5 will fit to the stock downpipe, just not sure about the 3 inch catback.
