You need a 2.5" inlet/outlet. You can get it for a lot less on eBay.

:?: :?: Curious. Mine'* 2.5. I though all SSE, SSEi exhaust was 2.5. Or L67 exhaust anyway. Which brings me to a question. If the L27 SSE has 2.25, is the muffler different than an L67 muffler?

No, N10 is the exhaust with two outlets on one side. I'm talking about the exhaust with one outlet on both sides. You know, looks like a SSEi, but no L67. They give those engines the same rating despite the bigger exhaust?

WOW......u called this one

doing a high speed run today... couldnt get more than 125 out of it... was confused... let off the gas... at about 70mph, i could hear a deep rumble...

pulled off the road, popped the hood......headers were SUPER glowing red...haha.. anywho... looked at the cat also, it was basically on fire... entire thing was boiling red... and there was smoke coming out of it...

yup, it got so hot it blew a hole in the top of it...

i tried to take a pic, but since its on top, i cant...

sounds like hell now, and a new high flow cat is being overnighted as i speak...

At least you didn't catch the car on fire..... that was a good call to stop and check it out.
