Default Corsa style exhaust tips?

I am trying to decide on a cat-back exhaust, and I`ve narrowed it down to the Loudmouth, Hooker, or TSP Rumbler. As far as I know, all of these have 2 1/2" outlets. I am not excited about the tips on any of these, so I am looking at buying other tips.
ON the tips I am looking to get, I noticed it says the inlet size on the tips are 2 3/8", so they are a little smaller than the outlet pipes. Is there a way around this, as the ad says they need to be welded on?

The INLET is 2-3/8. So the pipe diamter is 2-1/2 which is what the loudmouth is I believe. I could be wrong though. No matter what, you could cut down the tailpipes on the loudmouth, weld on a reducer whatever size it may be and then weld on the tips. And if you do these you better weld them on because they probably will get stolen. No pun intended.

Any exhaust shop can make alomst any tip fit any pipe by either expanding the tip or the end of the exhaust. Normaly it's only a few bucks too.

I put those on my LM and that is exactly what the guy did. He was able to expand it just enough to get it welded. But make sure the guy is good, or else he'll split the inlet of your brand new tips.

Another tip is to only have them tack welded in 2 spots only. That way it's easy to grind off the tacks if you want to swap tips or catback later.
