Your headers are 3" at the collector. You will need a 3 bolt flange or ball flanges welded (or clamped) to the headers and then a 3 to 2.5 reducer.

Should, if not you can take your duals (pipes) in and tell them to open the ends up so you can slide them into a 3 inch opening.

Summit or Jegs should have reducers. I don't think any of our sponsers do. You could try EAD Performance, they can get all sorts of exhaust stuff.
