Do you mean the inner pipe? The OEM pipe are 2". What you need are the in 2.25" so you can put over the OEM pipe. Hope that help.

The one I'm looking at doing is Rolled-Round-Angle Cut
part #35177, 4" Diameter, 6.25" long, 2.25" inlet.

From what I measured on the stock tips (non-GFX) they were 5.5" long. I'm debating on getting the GFX rear from Sewell's promo., then I will dicide what tips to get.

I agree thats a lot for tips....I would just pick up a used exhaust and do it right knowing they are that much plus labor if you have to weld them on....

not sure why one would pay $350 for flowmaster when Borla is $60 per. they are just tips, purely cosmetic and i don't see that much diff. in the appearance of the two.

the borlas have a clamp that is tightened down on the pipe (phillips head screw). a spot weld ensures it stays secure and prevents theft. (Midas $20)
can't speak for the other brands
