Has it always been 2.5" or was that changed in 2004?

I seem to recall reading other posts about using 2.25" to avoid a loss of torque with true duals. Is that still correct?

Thanks,

Still 2.5", only real difference is the mufflers got bigger & quieter, so did the cats, and the tailpipe was enlarged a quarter.

x2. Though if your going with a dual outlet muffler you will require new 2.5" tailpipes by your local shop so you wont need the factory tailpipe anyways.
