2 1/8" is the stock size, the bends on the stock pipe are about 1 7/8" due to the crush bending. So 2 1/4" will have more volume, and have bends that are around 2" from crush bending which will improve flow coupled with a 2 1/4" free-er flowing muffler.

The best exhaust size for the 3vze would be mandrel bent 2 1/8" but good luck finding an exhaust shop with a mandrel bender (theres one in my province I believe, mind you it's right near my house) and to make matters worse you would have had some divine intervention if you managed to find an exhaust shop with not just a mandrel bender, but also the 2 1/8" dies to mandrel bend pipe coupled with stocking 2 1/8" exhaust tube (which can be found, but it's slightly more expensive because it's an exotic size).

I have a Borla catback and it is 2" mandrel bent and I'd say if you want a bit more torque it's a sweet set up.
