Bought wrong size replacement muffler
 
My stock muffler has a few holes. I believe the stock exhaust is 2.25 inches. I bought a replacement Magnaflow muffler but it's 2.5 inch. Is there anyway to make it work or do I need to get the 2.25 inch one?

I believe they make adapters that you can clamp/weld on.. something like 2.25 to 2.5 or w/e you need.

Take the Magnaflow back and exchange it.

they make adapters at vip or advanced auto. Or you could return the magnaflow and buy a cheap welded muffler and have it sound just as good.

Just get a CherryBomb for $19.95, they sound great...Tj

ANY parts store will have the adapters in stock if you dont want to exchange.

Why spend more money on parts and extra welds? Just exchange it.

Well today I looked for adapters but I could not find any that would fit. I'm going to order a new one and send back the original. Thanks for everyone's thoughts.

Before I get the wrong size again, are the stock pipes 2.25 inches?

You could measure it and take the guess work out of it. Call me crazy but thats what I would do.
