Default Muffler Inlet Size

I am planning exhaust upgrade with Eckler Kit
http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1267

and Flowmaster Series 40 Delta's. Question:

With the 2 1/2" pipes, do I buy mufflers with 2 1/4" inlets and outlets? It seems logical in order for them to fit together.

What other piece parts will I need other than the pipe kit and the mufflers. Clamps and hangers. Anything else I need to look out for?

thanks in advance

Mufflers are manufactured to fit the OD of the pipes. In otherwords, the pipes will fit inside of the mufflers, not over the top of the muffler nipple.
