Default Dumb Question...

I am not sure what size exhaust I have. How can I tell? I measured the diameter and it was 6 inches around. I think... Anyway is there a speacial way to measure it to be accurate?
I know it is sort of a dumb question, bu I really do not know.
Thanks
Steve :confused:

Do not measure the circumference. You measure the diameter, or straight across the tip opening. Be aware that some systems are either reduced or enlarged at the tip. The best way is to use a set of vernier calipers about midway btwn the manifold and the muffler.
