exhaust questions please help

[sleezyt]

is it okay to go from a 3 inch down pipe to a 2.5 inch straight pipe to a magnaflow muffler?
will it bottle neck a noticeable amount from 3-2.5? just trying to have less clearance issues and not as loud as a 3 inch.

you will lose max 5 hp, not a big deal depending on your tune
