'01 r/t dual exhaust

i came upon the trubendz s.s. resonated catback system but i was wondering if anyone could explain the advantages/disadvanteges of the two (2.25" and 2.5") exhaust... im guessing the 2.5" would be slightly louder than the 2.25" and it might make a bit more peak hp but the 2.25" might also prove better low-end torque, or atleast not as much of a loss in the low-end. anyway, if anyone has had experiences could you please enlighten me to the two sizes... keep in mind i have an '01 R/T and i only plan to due minimal engine work (intake, exhaust, possibly t/b).

The shop I used talked me out of 2.50" and into 2.25" based on torque. I'm using a Magnaflow resonater and muffler. I can't tell you if it's true, because I only know how the 2.25" pipes respond. I followed their advice because they are a high end shop, doing systems on a lot of very expensive SoCal hot rods.

2.25 is pretty much optimal for a mildly modified 2.0 liter engine.
