      I think so. I'll measure sometime.

        can you put it next to the cutout on the rear valance and take a picture, I'd like to see relatively how it looks, I'm looking for a muffler to run from my single pipe. I may just use the stock m20 muffler with a custom adapter to fit the m50 shit

          Best picture I could do. It should be installed on Tuesday, so there will be pictures after that.

              Yea, I like the size too now that I see it up next to the car. I want to have the tips comming straight out the back.

                If you wanted them sideways, it wouldn't be possible. If the tips come out of the casing, or whatever its called, straight - then, they can't be turned.

                I think the straight pipes look a lot better anyway, sepcially if they're stainless steel.

                  Dood - if you're just going for looks that's great. But you're going to lose power by going from 2 pipes down to 1 pipe. If I were you, I'd re-sell it on ebay and get one with dual in, dual out pipes.

                    I measured the stock pipes, 2 inch in and 2 inch out.

                      that'll look good jamie. down the line you can have a nice single pipe full exhaust welded up....




                      i seriously doubt going to a single pipe straight through muffler will hurt power much

                        yeah, that looks hot, i thought that 3" would be too big of tips, but it looks nice next to the car, we'll see...

                            You will lose power with that setup, and you will feel it (though you will be in denial).

                            Stock piping is 2x45mm (smaller than 2", it's an important difference).

                              The shop couldn't get around to it today, so I guess it will get done wihen it gets done. Also, I was wondering, would it be better to get them to make a single 2.25 inch pipe off of the cat instead of cutting off the stock muffler and fabricating a Y adapter to make the two stock pipes go into one?
