Default TSP Rumbler issue

Not sure what to do here. Just purchased the TSP Rumbler system this week got it today. The only portion of the kit that is 3" is the I-Pipe. The over axle/after axle portion is 2.5. My custom Stainless Steel CME Tips are 3" and in no way fit. I bought the kit ONLY because it said 3" on the site. Anyone with the Rumbler have one that has the OA/AA portion that is 3" or is this the standard 2.5 for them all?

Well I'm screwed then. Love TSP but this kinda burns me up, if its 2.5 after axle then say that in the product description.

Thats the thing i have the SUPER clean Stainless Steel custom 3" CME kit from the guy in York, PA. Really don't wanna weld them was looking to just band clamp everything down and call it a day since i had about 5 extra from a friend. Where can you purchase 2.5 - 3" adapters?

Yeah I talked to a friend today about. What is really getting at me is that I really didn't want to spend more money to get this exhaust to work. Was going to do the install myself. Oh well for what its gonna cost to get it to work right and install now i could have just bought 400+ system.

3" and 2.5" is a substantial difference. The 2.5 section fits past the connection area OD of the other CME like i can run it all the way to the elbow. im just going to have to get adapters i think.

Guys, most every catback system for thee cars go from 3" to dual 2.5" after the axle. The loudmouth, Hooker Aerochamber catback, Magnaflow, etc all do this.

It's like I said in the other thread Matt, I should have asked and maybe it should have been clearer on the site. I'll make it work.
