DP and cat major bottle necks??

My question is, does it make sense to increase the diamter of the DP and cat, then keep the stock system from there back? I have a stock '95 Aero, and I know that turbo cars gain the most from exhuast systems.
This is taken from a Bob Davis previous post.
"There isn't much point in a 3" system if the downpipe is smaller. In fact, the DP is the most important element if you're trying to reduce EGT's (exh. gas temps). If this is your main goal--to mitigate the effects of increased boost, for example--you can reduce it starting at the rear cat outlet if you wish. If reducing back pressure is important, probably not a factor except in extreme performance upgrades, you'll want to go 3" all the way back.
I installed a 3" system and kept it that size to the tip, which I kept at the stock 2¼" so I could reuse my Aero exhaust tip cover. I have basically the same system as Zeke except for the tip reduction and the SS muffer. The middle muffler (resonator) has been eliminated"
