Catalytic converters

I'm looking into getting into installing a set of race cats and need to find out what the tubing size in and out of the stock cats are for the 3.2L V6 engine. Anybody whose done this mod tell me what the sizing is or any problem they ran into? How long did it take for the installation?


Thanks!

I assume it's probably 2.5" seeing that evosport only have 2.5" and 3.0" listed for mercedes and that 3.0" piping is for the V8s. I fiugre the tubing should be relatively the same size for all V6s wouldn't you think?

Please?

I would think so. And I'm not just saying that, etc.
