What diameter exhaust tips?

I'm getting some aftermarket dual tips welded on tomorrow at an exhaust shop and I can't seem to decide if 3 inch outside diameter is large enough or if I should go 3.5

I've read through all the old threads on this topic and found some pics online but no one really mentions the exact specs on the tips they used like the outside diameter or overall length

I'm planning on pulling the rear bumper to help facilitate this

Thanks in advance for any help

My Eiseenmann has the 83mm quad tip (two on left two on right) and it's plenty good with sizing. 83mm runs at 3.2 inch tips. The SuperSprint system has a 90mm option that puts the tips at 3.5 inches. 3.5 tips should be just fine, there is enough room in the cutout for it.

I measured mine and 3-1/2" OD would have filled it just right.

Was planning on quad 3-1/2" single-walls and even mocked them up to make sure they would fit, but ended up with iS-style tips instead.
