It's 2.5" pipes you need and a wellycooler seems quite highly regarded on here.

I had no real extra lag or power increase after fitting my ebay fmic with the standard map. 2.25" inlet, 2.5" outlet.
As much as its doing a great job now, it was a nightmare to fit. Had to modify and buy in loads of new pipes.
If i had to do it again id fork out for one of the more expensive kits that will fit the car properly
