Z06 midpipe with 2.5" reducers
I just picked up 1-7/8 ARH with 3" mid-pipe off of a 2013 427 corvette. Does anyone have pictures of a ARH 3" mid-pipe with reducers going into a 2.5 " exhaust?

I don’t have any pics offhand, but you can see mine in some detail on my install video when I installed them
PS: I feel like there was a non Z model mid pipe for sale in the C6 sale section a few weeks ago

I understand what you said in which I said they are all 3” pipes. Just the non Z pipes reduce while the z pipes don’t.
You asked to test the pipe with the reducers.
If you want to adapt your pipe, you need to either have your pipe reduced in some fashion (cut and weld in reducers), flare out your over axle pipes, or get Z model mufflers

What is involved in mating the 3" mid-pipe to a 2.5 " exhaust. It costs $850+ to get new connecting pipes that reduce from 3" down to 2.5". I am trying to avoid that. Is it just a matter of getting some reducers and clamps? Cutting the mid-pipe and then adding reducers?

yes you can just do reducers. I personally would have them welded. Can’t be more than $150 to have a shop hook that up for you nicely vs doing clamps

Let me know how it works out. Seen a 3" catted xpipe for sale and I was thinking about getting it but wasn't sure if I could just slip that joint in or have to drive to a muffler shop and they finish it up.
