The 4 "holes" you're looking at are 3 inchers. It has 2 1/2" pipes coming out of the muffler w/ those quad 3" tips on them.

Do they all come like that? With the 3" tips? Cause I like the way they look. I just want to make sure that i get the right kit. Also is the pipe going over the axle 3" also?
