What size are the 4.6is mufflers

I have soearched as many threads as I can and even the internet to find what size the mufflers are...size of the inlets/outlet and dimensions.

Trying to get them so that I can have the performance shop I use see if we can get a Flowmaster to fit.

Yes I know it is a European V8, but I would put Flowmasters on a Ferrari given the chance.

Thanks,

Shawn

The pipe are 2.5' and the rest is you have to put the car on the lift and take out the ruler.

I was gonna respond deuce-anda-quarter, but knew my memory all leaked out a while ago.

fwiw, you already have the best exhaust from BMW, you might wanna read up on people's experience and reaction to what they DID TO their X (some unhappy stories).
a search on Flowmaster alone was 38 hits, might wanna check eisman, and definitely U-Boob for all the variations that have been tried, complete with cheap camcorder sound.

in my reading, Eisman has the most 'yep, I heard it/lived with it.. def best' comments, though I may have missed a couple in my exhaust upgrade searching. Else? 4.6 / 4.8is has best sound.
If there is not a "fits bmw e53" application by NOW, aren't you kinda' askin' for trouble?

The muffler inlet piping is metric but you'll be awfully close using anything 2.25"
