Default Muffler Ring Needed

A problem in finding a muffler pipe ring. The L48 part number comes up with a 2" ID ring [2].



It's too large for this inter-pipe.



I'm hoping someone here has a number for a 1 3/4" ID pipe ring. Local part stores don't want to search for a rouge part; only car model specific part numbers that show up on their monitors.

Thanks.

The small end of that pipe should slide into your pipe, then the 2" donut will fit on the large end and mate up to the manifold. Or you may not even need the small pipeif yours is in good shape.

The packing ring and pipe donut sleeve should both be 2"

Thanks for the response.
I could be dealing with something non-stock. I don't offhand know if my sides are different, but this sleeve comes from the Right side, and attaches to the heat valve.
I'm only replacing it because it looks like it's developed a crack. I'll post a photo of it with measurements later today.

I recently replaced my exhaust with duals and used something similar to what you have. In my case the donut did fit on the large end, but was a longer section than what you appear to have. The drawing you have looks more like that should look.
