2.25" vs. 2.5" X-Pipe?
Any benefit in one vs. the other?

Word on the street has it both will work. Also, any specific brand? eBay one for 40$?

what engine? what's your intent?

you could always measure the pipe where you plan on installing it and then just match that size. could also be about the same price to have a decent local exhaust shop make/install one for you.

The 4.8 has 2.5 exhaust. To maximize the performance benefit the X pipe should be 2.5.

Anything larger will be larger than the existing exhaust and won't work.
