So i got my hands on a 2.5" x-pipe but i'm having some trouble figuring out what else i need. the resonator (2002 4.4i sport) i think is 2.25" which would mean i need to go from 2.25 ID to to 2.5 OD. right?

oh man, i think im just confusing myself. anyone know the OD of the pipes before and after the resonator?

what if i cut it off and use duct tape? nah.
