Right at the muffler its around 2" but if you leave any of the piping on its less in the bends leading up to it.

I had mine cut right at the muffler and got the muffler shop to expand the inlet to about 2 1/8, can't get any larger without cracking it.

Here is a diagram with the parts numbers for the exhaust components.

Wow Jime, way to intercept my next question.

I've been trying to figure out ways to do a relatively cheap and quiet exhaust with ~2.5" piping. Guess it's gotta be the Apex'i WS2 or something, eh?
