Well, since it's not mandrel bent, it's different sizes in different places. But, it should be 2.25" for the most part.

what size tips? if you found some that got smaller at the end, like down to 2.5" you could clamp them together easy

Save yourself the hassle and just do the catback.

Down the road when you decide to do a midpipe/headers the catback will match up and you wont have to redo it.

I agree.. if you're replacing the mufflers and tips might as well just find a cat-back you like.

I agree also. Just get a cats-back for now and save the mid-pipe swap.

Ford Claims 2.5", but with all the bends, it usually makes for 2.25"
