The IC pipe on top is 4 inch.. the down pipe on the bottom is 5 inch

As was stated in this thread.. if you dump it down under the car, expect the car to be a COMPLETE mess from exhaust and oil/dirt.

My advice to anyone.. make sure your exhaust exits outside the body of the car or expect to be cleaning alot to keep things nice

thanks for the pics outlaw. I agree i would rather clean the side of the car. I just noticed you has a strut setup or whatever you call it. With a regular shock, k member and a arms i dont have that much room because the shock sits in alot more.

have you burnt the paint, or is it just exhaust residue?

it seems like a quick wipe down after runs would have stopped it from staining the paint.
