Ohhhh you got them open box, that's right. Most are at least $50-55 new, at a minimum. So even $30 a pop is a good deal
They were supposed to be 2-1/4. One had a note saying it was the wrong size and the right number written on paper in the box. Goes to show they didn't check it. Worst comes to worst I could sell them for $20 easy.

Either way, I think you're fine. They sell step-up pipe that flanges from one size to another if they need to do it. I'd run whatever size the tips need though because you're doing a SIDO, so it doesn't matter. I have 2.25" duals after my SIDO

Ok just stopped by the place by my work that everyone told me to go to. He said "Well sheeeer I can get 2-1/2 under thar". I'm sure I talk the same way though, so shouldn't laugh at him.

$140 plus tax, and said just come by at 3pm and he'll get it done. So, hopefully pictures and a sound clip tomorrow.

Here is a nice slow 0-60 in it a few months ago.

Here is my wifes civic. It used to be mine, but it was cheap...I really wanted a truck but I couldn't pass up a deal. I even got in the ricer mood.

What are the details on what you ended up doing?

Sounds like it's pretty loud! Are you happy with it?

Single 3" in dual 2.5" out super ten mandrel bent 2.5" pipe straight out. $250 tips muffler pipes and Welding at custom shop. $100 for tips muffler and shipping. $150 for pipes and Welding.

Its finally louder than my honda. My wife enjoyed revving it also......even wanted to drive it. No drone at cruise. Can't even tell I have new muffler.

I talked to the owner of the shop, and he was a guy in his 70s maybe. He was very friendly. We talked about working and stuff till the exhaust guy finished my truck.

He had to weld my tips on because they wouldn't grip good enough with the clamps on them. I was fine with it though. I'm looking forward to going back soon. I have a camaro that may need new exhaust.
