I believe stock piping is 2". Go with a Cattman or Frankencar catback. I have Cattman bpipe and I believe the piping is 2.25"

Frankencar is 2.5" piping... I always thought stock was 2.25", but I'm probably wrong...

My bad. Cattman bpipe is 2.5". I agree with 03blk6mt. I just had my Frankencar rear section installed yesterday and it sounds so good. Nice and quiet. But still nice at WOT.

Are you just looking for the mid (b) pipe? From your initial post, that sounds like what you are looking for. My suggestion is the Cattman. I just have the Cattman rear section and have been pleased with the tone of this addition. I will eventually add the Cattman b pipe as well.
