A 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" pipe should be plenty of diameter. 2" or bigger pipes will tend to reduce the low-end torque of the engine due to low exhaust gas velocity.
I'd recommend 1 7/8" pipes with moderately free-flowing mufflers- - - -no point in deafening yourself with a set of Cherry Bombs or something similar.
