Can someone explain this to me?

Hey everyone im buying my catback and i've been told the piping really only needs to be mandrel bent. So im looking for a cheap catback with mendrel bends, then ill put a good muffler on it afterwards. Found a cheap one

http://www.dashzracing.com/Exhaust-C...-p6882042.html

For some reason i've got a gut feeling that i'll buy it and that it wont be able to fit a muffler on it, that its end is welded on. Am i going insane? Or am i right?

Local shop quoted me 100$ to weld on pipes and what not so if thats the case i'd rather buy

http://shopping.aol.com/17463-super-...-back/37869627

That is for a Jeep Wrangler.. but it has 2.25inlet which means my Cat needs to have a 2.25outlet? Or they will have to use an intermediary pipe?
If im planning on having it welded on... then any mandrel bent pipe with an inlet = to the outlet of my CAT is fine right? Then the outlet of the pipe has to = the inlet of my muffler? Please explain.


If they're welding then i can get any tip i'd want correct?

Please shed some light for me

Typo on the end sentence wanted to clear it up

"If they're welding then i can get any type of Cat back i'd want as long as the inlet = CAT outlet correct?"

The size doesn't have to match. If the flanges aren't compatible, then the muffler shop cut and weld on new ones.

You can have a 2.5" catback bolted up to a 2" cat with no problem. The hp gains are negligible because of the bottleneck . Ideally, you want a header with a collector that has a diameter that's equal to the cat and exhaust.
