It's 2 inch, are you going for loud or just replacement if you want loud do 2.25 all the way from the cats to new mufflers that's what I have with flowmaster super 44's and I love it
Also for best fit you need center in offset out

Since it's the same sort of question what is the size for a 2003 Gen.2 V8? I've heard several different sizes ranging from 2 to 2 1/2
I thought out had to be center, unless you did offset in and offset out to flip it up into the bumper.

i was told if i wanted to get magnaflow performance mufflers i would need to get 2.25 pipe offset in center out... but ive seen so many different sizes of pipe i just didnt know. if i have 2in pipe would 2.25 fit?

I had mufflers installed almost 2 years ago and used Magnaflow mufflers. I used 2.25 and unfortunately when my mechanic went to install them, it required a bit extra work since my pipe was 2" The 2.25 will fit but requires a bit more work. Don't hold me to this, and if you want, I can try to find part numbers, but I believe the Magnaflow mufflers I used were center in/offset out. I also believe that they could be installed either way. I also believe that the muffler I used wasn't made in a 2in...

this has been debated many times before... It seems either people can read, or factory exhaust changed from year to year (between 2 and 2.25). only way to know for sure is climb under and change it yourself, or have your shop do it... I believe its all 2" on a 1 gen...

It is 2.25 up to the resonators, then 2 inch from resonators to the mufflers. I have center in offset out mufflers on my mine and they tuck pretty well. although the out side is lower so that means the exhaust cut outs will be lower.
