ok so stock mid pipes are 2.25 right? well i was wondering if a 2.5 magnaflow resonators will fit my stock mid pipes. so far i talked to one person and he said it should be good and i wanna make sure.

i plan on having my cat deleted and have the stock mid pipe (2.25) welded with the 27 inch magnaflow resonator (2.5) and i was wondering would it not fit? because of the .25 difference? oh and i am also removing the stock resonator also lol. but yea someone let me know thanks!

It wont fit I believe. Have a custom 2.5" midpipe made by a muffler shop. You're going to need to have the resonator welded in anyway.

I was also curious about this.

lilfunnijohn

damn are you serious? i dont want a custom 2.5 mid pipe its gonna be louder gah. i thought since its welding u can weld a 2.5 resonator on a 2.25 stock mid pipe? damn i already ordered the resonator too

shadow12one

im sure they could possibly make it fit.

lilfunnijohn

mmmm ok thanks. anyone else have any other infos?

lilfunnijohn

anyone else have a opinion about it? i need more infos from people.

andino

woops sorry john, i forgot to call the shop today to ask about this. i'll try and remember to call them tomorrow

lilfunnijohn

hahahha ok thanks man.

FLINTstone

any exhaust shop can make this work. all they need is to fab some stuff up and you're good to go. seriously man its not a big deal!

lilfunnijohn

oh ok thanks. and um anyone know what the basic price i should be expecting from the exhaust shop? so i make sure i dont get ripped off.

FLINTstone

you're gonna have to call them for a quote, and most shops have different rates they charge for labor.

i'd say you're looking at $150-200.

i thought stock pipe are 2''

lilfunnijohn

mmm i thought their 2.25... and damn 150-200 bucks?!! goodness... i dont know any numbers should i just drive by all the exhaust shops around my place and ask him for how much it would cost to remove stock cat/resonator and weld on my magnaflow resonator?

andino

I'm almost positive they are 2.25". My last exhaust had 2.25" piping and it was the same diameter as the mid pipe.

whoever is going to install it needs to make an expander and reducer. If the shop has a pipe bender (which they should if theyre an exhaust shop) then the bender should also have a flaring tool on it too. it really isnt hard.
