Fitting Magnaflow Muffler with 2.5" I/O to OEM Pipe Question

I got the Magnaflow 22" - 5"x11" muffler (P/N 12586 http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=main&id=8448 ) which has the 2.5" I/O pipe, and my question is, will I be able to slip the OEM pipe, which I think is 2.25", inside the muffler pipe and just clamp it down or do I need to get some kind of adapter? Thanks.

I wouldn't clamp exhaust, it leaks like a SoB. but if you have 2.25 piping, and the muffler is 2.50, it should slide on fairly easy, but i'd weld it.

x2. If you don't have a welder, it shouldn't cost you more then $50 from an exhaust shop to have it welded up if you are supplying the muffler and you don't need new pipe bent.

Yes, and If you're gonna pay a muffler shop weld it up, you might as well spend another $50-100 and have them bend 2.5 all the way out.

Good call, good call.

But there goes the whole idea of fixing the exhaust for cheap, right?

Well I'm not SC'd so I can't see it making any difference. I guess what I'm asking is will a clamp compress the 2.5" pipe enough to create a good seal over the stock pipe. Thanks for the input though.

After that pic, I say clamp PROBABLY won't work, lol. You would have to grab some reducers, and extra clamps.























Or weld it.
