Stock Exhaust Diameter
I was wondering what is the stock size of exhaust pipe on a '00+ SSEI. I am going to do new exhaust but I need to know what inlet size to get. I searched and can't get an exact answer.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The stock pipes after the 2.25" Y are only 2".

I got mufflers with 2.5" inlets and outlets. I will either have to have them replace the pipe after the Y section with new 2.5" pipe or I will have to have them just weld on an adaptor or something to mate the 2" pipe with the 2.5" mufflers. No big deal I guess.
Replace the stock restrictive 2" pipe with 2 1/2". You can buy a new Y piece on the internet.

Should I have them replace from the cat back with 2.5" or leave the stock 2.25"??? I might as well do it all if I am going to.

If you are having a shop do it, I would go as far as you can in 2 1/2". I would be tempted to replace the resonator with a similar size but with 2 1/2" in and out.
With my TOG headers, the outlet is 3" and I will eventually go 3" all the way to a Y that splits to two 2 1/2" exhaust pipes and flow thru Borla'* or Magnaflow'*.

I've been thinking about gettin a new exhaust system myself. Haven't decided on mufflers yet but going to keep the stock tips i think. josho66 what are you going with? Were going to need some pics and some audio/video when your done.
Right now the TOG header down pipe is 3" going to SLP cat 3" in and out and 3in into the resonator and 2.5 out and rest is stock. Probably going to an exhaust shop recomended by IL grand prix club to finsh off the rest in 2.5" Little bit of a drive but for a deal it'* worth it.
