True. Has a 3" split end with an integral clamp, fits over the 3" pipe.
Steps up to 3.5" for about 8-9", has an angle cut end.

I have heard that Gibson now has a 3.5" round tip extension (3" to 3.5").

Put a Gibson 3" single swept-side in first, then swapped the Gibson muffler
out and put a MagnaFlow in. I switched the muffler because when I put in 3"
plumbing from the Y pipe on back (including a 3" high flow cat) the Gibson
muffler caused a bit of a problem. It was designed to bolt up to the stock
2.5" cat pipe, and the 2.5"-3" step up was supposedly too close to the
muffler to cut off and re-weld cleanly without compromising the muffler's
seams.

Mike Jones @ Mesa (did they really go t_ts up?) offered me a jobber price on
the MagnaFlow muffler because I had to wait a while to get some fit issues
resolved, so I took him up on it. I haven't regretted it.

OK, I'm curious...
