I've got 2.5" MAC's welded in. The guy at the shop just made some adapters to go from 2.25" to 2.5". The 2 1/4" should just weld straight on to the stock pipes without any adapters.
I welded in 2.25in flowmaster 40s. Sounds exactly like a flowmaster catback kit for about half the price, only problem is stock tailpipes are on the small side
I got 2.5" Spintechs welded in. It's really not a big deal for an exhaust shop. They can either stretch out the catback part or make the muffler openings smaller.
