You should be considering a 2.75" (, or 3" system if you can get one at a decent price). Make sure it goes ALL the way to the back of the turbo, as most engines this size suffer significantly from restrictions in the cast dump housing.
2.5" is a bit low for the engine power output when you fit a Diesel Performance Tuning Module for more performance.
We are finding that fitting an improved exhaust system with a one of these modules makes a big difference to drivability and power across the rev range. How ever be very careful trying to bump the boost without appropriate precautions, or you will generate ECU codes from over boost. The over boost is an artifact of the VGT having limited resolution for its adustment.
