i dont know the exact size..but id weld a plate on top and fill in the metal where u cut...to keep the integrity of the crossmember.
are you set on running your duals strait back? i have mine set up on both of my cars so that both pipes run down the same path as the factory exhaust untill it hits the mufflers. just a suggestion...
This link should answer your questions and gives some pictures.

Also Chris Alston Chassis Works offers a bunch of do it youself Cross member kits. They come with a tubular cross member and all of the necessary brackets. They range from $69 to $110. But I think you will have to extend the frame on one side to use one of these. John Bzdel used one on his LS1 swap and walks thru the process on his website.
