Default SS tips or 3.5" tips?

I got a pair of the stock SS tips. I haven't installed them yet, but they look kind of small. Does anyone know the diameter of the tips? Are they 2.5", 3" tips?

The Fast Toys 3.5" slash cuts look great, but I can't justify paying $85 for a pair.

I don't have them with me, they're at home a few hundred miles away.

oh my bad

I believe they are 2 1/2 inch tips in diameter

I have some round tips and they are 3 inches, but the ss ones are a little smaller, so they must be 2 1/2

the inlet that connects to your exhaust pipes is 2.5 inches....so make sure it says "inlet: 2.5 inches"

obviously the chrome part will be larger....
