Re: 3" cutout

I have a 3.5" cutout. A 3" ypupe, and a 2.5" exhaust. Im not sure if the 3.5" cutout was inner or outer diameter, but the muffler shop just mated 3.5" to 2.5". Im not sure what they did, but it just looks like a straight forward weld. Ill take some pix if u want.

If it sleeves on, just use what you have.

Re: 3" cutout

Most parts stores should sell an exhaust pipe expander. You might be able to use one of those.
