the pipe from the headers through to the muffler is about 3" diameter IIRC, but I don't remember the exact dimension

KwlAznKid

so you would say i should go with a muffler with a 3 inch inlet instead of a 2.5 one right? i measured the resonator diameter (cuz i got it removed) and the resonator diameter is 2.5 inches

thanks

You are correct, they are 2.5" The 500s and the 320/350s are the same. It's the 55s that are 3" if I remember correctly. That's why mufflers are interchangeable between the v6s and the 500s.

you sir are a miracle, i wish i would have asked you 3 weeks ago, i literally spent 3 weeks asking around and trying to measure myself (it's hard without a lift and stuff) and then using the circumference to calculate the diameter etc etc... lol thanks for your help

oh just wondering would u say it's bad to get a muffler with a 2.25 inlet? so it would be a bout .25 inches smaller than the piping going into it?

Well, you can, and it is possible. They will most likely weld it onto a cone and fit it in that way. Performance wise, it's not going to help as you want the gases to flow out unrestricted. I don't think it will be detrimental to performance, but you may lose a little possibly.

What kind of muffler are you putting on? There are a number of mufflers that is made for your applicaiton. Prices I've seen ranged from a $300 remus upwards to $1500 for the eisenmann race.

well i haven't been able to find any really for around 300, and on top of that i'm trying to maybe spend a tad less than that if possible, hows the sound on the remus? the remus i saw was like 600 i was going towards the path of getting a magnaflow or something along the lines of a universal muffler

REMUS

we offer universal mufflers starting at 250$

i'm looking for something with a duel outlet

REMUS

Scroll down..there's a bunch

When I purchased a universal Remus the inlet was too small to accomodate the Mercedes piping.

It must have been a 2.25" inlet, we now offer up to 2.5" inlet with our Rev3 stepped inlet designs.

yeah thanks i saw that but, all the ones with 2 outlets are way above 250
