    Oem SE exhaust tubing size

    Hey all, im going to delete the main cats on my car and was enquiring the od size of the exhaust pipe. Im just going to order a section of stainless tubing and weld it in place of the cat. I think its 2.5 but I'd like to be sure before I order, thanks.

    I used 2.5", it's very slightly smaller that the OE exhaust, at least at the slip connections, but it worked fine.

    When I was looking into replacing the flex pipes I found that the downpipes were 65mm (2.55906in).

    European car so parts are in metric. 65mm pipes.
    '02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
