2.5" is what I meant, of course. It looks a bit larger than my '89 was. I could be wrong though! Now that there'* added doubt, I'll definitely be measuring tomorrow.
Then I can get one ordered and installed. The sooner the better. The noise/rasp levels really need to be taken down a notch or two, and of course it'* illegal as it is. I also hope that the added bit of backpressure makes it run a bit better.

Well, if you are on a budget...there is always the good chance that a tech school or high school shop class in your area that would do it for next to nothing.
It aint gotta look pretty...just sealed good.

It'* not so much that I'm broke, more the principal of the thing. And I'm just trying to keep this car on the cheap, until I'm more sure of it'* virtues.

I just got a quote from the local shop here that for cutting the stock off and installing my new Magnaflow (welded), it'd be $35 for labor.

Yeah, that'* a great price.
I just measured my circumference of exhaust, and it was 8" Divided by Pi, that'* 2.54"
So, unless anyone tells me not to soon, I think it'll be a Magnaflow 94006 for me.
