Stock is... 2.75"
1/4" isnt going to make that big of a diffrence..
but thats what most of the Cat backs are..
I have a corsa cat back...3"
and when I added the LT, and Y-pipe with cats, it made it easier to connect cause the catback was already 3"

the bigger the pipe the louder, but like I said dont think 1/4 inch is going to make that much off a difference...

I don't know Tho, I had a set of IMCO single chamber mufflers on my truck, look like flowmaster, but flow better.. now that thing was loud..
