It's 2.5 instead of 2.25 You could slide this OVER your exhaust pipe and then weld it. I ordered a 2.25 MagnaFlow so that it is the same diameter.

Our pipes are 2.25 and I would advise getting 2.25 and welding straight on vs. getting the 2.5 and doing the slipover type weld.
Are there any more clips of the sound than the few on utube? I still haven't made up my mind on this one

Are our pipes 2.25 OD or ID? If it is 2.25 OD you need 2.25 ID X pipes so they mate (ours slip into the new pipe).

Like this crude rendering:
2.25 OD (C Class) on the left and 2.25 ID (X pipe) on the right

just has lil holes in it to muffle the sound a bit, maybe 1 or 2 HP? lol maybe even just a "mental" gain in HP.
