    Ok so I am about to install an exhaust and have a straight pipe out the back. I was wondering what size piping do I need. Any suggestions?

    Ok Ill go buy the 2.25 inch tomorrow. What is the worst that will happen is the piping is too big/small?

    Too small would limit the flow of the exhaust, that would be the worse that going too big, error on the big side. 2.25 or 2.5, either should be fine.

    yeah bc i was looking at the 2 1/4 piping and it looked liked a pretty good size. so after buying the pipes all i have to do is weld them together right?
