not just because they rust, they will give a powerflow franchise to ANYBODY nowfor just £5k
and most powerflow franchises I visited (for research) used mig rather than tig to weld the systems. most used steel wire as well rather than stainless.

No smaller than 2.5" only go for 3" if you intend on upping the power by quite alot, as you may suffer with the lack of back pressure

3" is an option for big power cars such as scoobies, evos etc.. but a corsa has quite a short exhaust and is pretty straight anyway. 2.5" will be fine.

also ask whoever does the exhaust to use silencers with a 2.5" bore to match the exhaust. you would be suprised how many places use silencers with 1.75" mouth and bore through, regardless of the main pipe size

oh, one more thing 
try and find a place that uses cobra boxes (and 304 stainless tubing) I went to see cobra UK recently and their boxes are far superior to any others I have seen. not too expensive either and are fully sealed rather than seamed
