Default C6 NPP Exhaust Question

Hello all. Recently picked up a 2009 C6 Base (LS3 car). Amongst the cam and ported heads I've done to it I'm looking to upsize the tips on the NPP Cans to 4 inch tips from the factory 3/3.5 in? Not entirely sure what the stock ones are. Anyway.

Question is. When you lop off the factory tips from the rear of the factory NPP Mufflers, what is the size of the short section of pipe with the vaccum actuated valves in it? Need to know the diameter so I can correctly size the adapter for the 4 inch tips.

Thanks!

Should be 2.5" if memory serves.

2.5 OD is correct for both the valve side and the quiet side. The tips are all 3.5 OD.
