2.5" or 3" at the y pipe

Well, i have 3" longtube hooker headers, and they are not connected to the exhaust. I want to go and get a y-pipe installed but i am having a problem finding someone that bends 3" pipe. Also, i do not want a cat installed, so that makes it a bigger problem.

I found a guy that will bend 3" pipe, but only if i put a cat on, and he will probably charge an arm and a leg for all that!

I have a shop around the corner that will bend 2.5" pipe no problem with no cat for cheap... so is it a big loss to go from 3" to 2.5" back up to 3", instead of 3" all the way?

okok i see that, but i guess my basic question now is, how much will it hurt to go from 3" headers to 2.5 y pipe back to 3" exaust?
