Those with Flowmaster Catbacks on their 5.0's!!!!

I need to know how the "Flow Tube-to-Muffler" joint is setup. Does your Flow Tube fit OVER the Inlet of the Muffler or does it slip INTO the Inlet of the Muffler?

I'm trying to determine if my Flowmasters are 2-1/2" or 2-1/4". I currently have 2-1/4" stock flow tubes that fit INTO the muffler inlet. I also measured the O.D of the Muffler inlet which came out to be around 2-1/2". Does this mean I have 2-1/2" Mufflers on my car??

Sorry for the Newb question. I want to get my entire system to 2-1/2" before the new motor goes in. :)
 
Well no, bigger tubes wont fit if the mufflers arent made for them obviously. You might be able to have a muffler shop stretch the inlet/outlet of your mufflers to accomodate the bigger pipe since the inside of the muffler is the same either way. But the MAC's are a good choice. Thats all I run anymore.
