Size of exhaust pipe diameter??

I found new rear catalytic converters to get from Random Technology because one of my rear stock converters is bad. I called them to order two but they need to know the size of the stock exhaust pipe diameter so that they can send me the right ones. I looked over the forums but was not able to find any info. Does anyone know the size. They guy on the phone thought that it was probably 2 1/4", but I am not sure. Thanks

I think it's 2 1/2, why not just take them off and run straight pipe.



Edit: Never mind, I saw your inspection post on the other thread.

I won't pass inspection if I take them off. And if I sell the car in the future then I will need to put them back in.

Anybody knows what the size of the primary cats inlet and outlet is? Is it really 2" inlet and 2.25" outlet? I am not sure at all.
