I don't think 2.5" would be too large. I think (just based on what I've read on forums) that a lot of people run 2.5" pipes.

Any shop should be able to bed the pipes to make em fit. Not sure, but it might be easier and maybe cheaper, to just buy a muffler, and let the shop bend their own pipe. I would at least price it out.

Im leaning more toward the kit this will be my 3rd setup from stock if something breaks i can just order a part to fix it no need for a welder. Plus dynomax is doing a $75 dollar rebate so i can pick it up for around $150

I've never heard a dynomax set-up. It looks fairly inexpensive already. Too bad they don't sell a dual kit for it... at least not on summit. I'm gonna call an exhaust shop tomorrow, been meaning to do that for a while. I'd love to have a magnaflow dual catback, but that crap is pricey.

Off topic... 1000th post, haha.
