Im thinking about doing this tonight when I bring my car in to put on my snow tires. What size is our stock catback piping 2.5"?

 

the ss/tc is 2.5, it does sound pretty damn good too. I did it to a friend's t/c and it sounds like a much raspier srt-4 (not like a truck but it gurgles like the neon)

 

im pretty sure stock piping is 3 inch except for the bottleneck over the rear axle

 

it's 2.5" the dp is 3"

 

Alright cool. Now I need to decide if I want to go through with it or not. Ive heard it in person before and was suprised with how good it sounded. Im just worried Ill get sick of it.

 

welding on a new muffler should be too much money. and almost the same amount to take it back off again.

i would cut it out and drive it for a while. if you dont like it it should be less than 100 bucks to put one back on.

 

it's not a big deal...go to pep boys get a 2 foot length of 2.5", cut out your stock muffler, cut off the excess, grind off the stock tip and hangers and weld it back on. use a clamp if you want for the whole extension. you also have the opportunity to extend the tip a little bit to make it flush with the rear lip, that was my favorite part about doing dunit's muffler delete.

um...if you have a welder that is lol

 

Yah I should be all set on how to do it. I just wanted to make sure it was 2.5" piping. Im taking it into the shop I work at tonight to swap the snow tires on, and was thinking about doing it while I was in there.

 

wel even if you werent sure about the piping size a muffler shop should have piping in most sizes. lol.

you should be golden either way man.

 

Yah. Were not a muffler shop though, we do all work, so we dont keep much exhaust stuff in stock, just order when needed. So I just wanted to make sure I had the right size to order because Im going to stop and get some on the way to the shop.

 

well in that case you should have gotten a caliper and done some measurin'!

lol. better safe than sorry imho.
