Do any of you know the size of pipe that a stock exhaust uses? I have an 02 and want to take the muffler out of it.
Thanks

The downpipe to about the trans is 3" and then it bumps up to 3.5 through the tail.

I've taken a couple trucks to a local muffler shop and they cut the muffler out and weld in a straight pipe for $50, and it takes about 20 min. They do cat and muffler for about $75.

I certainly agree that the size of the exhaust pipe is around 3 - 3.5". I also prefer having some thing like this exhaust pipe flanges to improve the exhaust pipe performance.
