i was wondering what the stock exhaust piping size is. i bought my talon with a ton of little problems and one of those problems is the "custom" exhaust that the previous owner had is broke. well its not really broke, its just not connected correctly. he had a bunch of pieces of pipes (maybe 2.5") put together with clamps and a "revolution" muffler. i am wanting to know which is the original pipe (and its size) and which is the stuff they slapped on there. thanks a lot.

Stock size is 2.25". How many clamps and pieces are we talking? If it's downpipe, test pipe, and catback with the muffler clamped on at the end it's not so bad. The Buschur racing exhausts use a slip fitting with clamps (although the muffler is welded on)

Actually, I've seen places that claim that the stock piping is 1 7/8". I've never measured it myself to know though.

Get new gaskets and packings and keep the ghetto exhuast. By a different aftermarket one when you're ready.

from what i can tell, it is just the "rear section"that is all messed up. these are not slip fittings, the are those round clamps that you have to tighten two nuts down. it doesnt sound to bad, sometimes there is a hissing raspy noise. i have a nice stainless muffler that is 2.25" inlet diameter and maybe i can just weld that on in place of all that other stuff till i can get a nice turbo back or catback. ok well thanks for the info.
