Default Stock exhaust question

what dia is the stock exhaust?

and does it have a stock rear H pipe? I'm just making sure I'm removing stock peices before I start buying new... Also does anyone have a pic of the stock exhaust system in or out of a car?

Stock exhaust = 2 1/2". Stock exhaust includes "H" pipe behind converters before flanges which the "Cat Back" exhaust connect to.

When you buy an "X" pipe, installers must cut the "H" section out of the stock exhaust and install the "X" pipe in it's place. This is mounted with clamps to the section of pipe before your old factory "H" pipe.

I know this is true because of the Corsa exhaust w/x-pipe I had installed on my '04 coupe.

If you would like pix, I saved what was removed from my car during the install and I could snap off a few pix for you if you really would like to see it.
