well, unless two different exhaust shops that I've gone to, and several other members in posts that I've read all had crazy exhaust guys...

wouldnt i change that the same time i do headers?

can i get a confirmation on that 2.5" dia

Go with 3'' downpipe if you can, i think this can be done by some shop where they bend piping.(cheaper than buy one from a brand)


and yes, 2.5 intlet outlet.

the Bonneville exhaust is identical to the exhaust on my Aurora. Only difference are the tips . The mufflers even have the same part numbers on them.

You can go with a 3in DP to the Hi flow and just have the rest back to the mufflers stay stock. btw, had my car on the rack today as I was looking at the cat spot, since I have a hi-flow avalible, and it is 2.5 exhaust system, not 2.25.
