Default Grand Cherokee 2.5" tailpipe

Hi,

Do anyone know is it possible to change original tailpipe to 2.5" tailpipe?
Is that "bolt-on" or do I need to do any changes or modification etc..?

I Have MAGNAFLOW 13216 muffler what I need to fit my Jeep (1997 4.0 6L with 2" lift kit).

http://www.magnaflow.com/products?partnumber=13216

I don't know yet how to fit that in original pipe after cat?
Use clamp or something?

Why not just get their cat back exhaust system, #15857?

Mine, for the 5.2L, has been a solid performer for over a decade.

The Magnaflow #15857 is also the cat back exhaust that is appropriate and installed on my '94 ZJ w/ the 5.2L.

Here are some recent images. Note it's been over six months since I polished my exhaust tip.

Yaknow, any good muffler shop can make you a 2.5 pipe, especially if you have a normal one as a pattern. Just saying.

That muffler was sold me as "universal" model, or how you say that?
I post here how I fit that muffler to my Jeep. 2.5" tailpipe is ordered now

Sorry for my crappy English.

When I click on the provided Magnaflow link, then click on the Compatible Vehicle link, that listing shows up.
