Interestingly enough, my '92, as far as I can tell, came with 3" exhaust
between the y-pipe and the muffler, with a 2.5" tailpipe. The cat and
piping ahead of and behind it are all 3", and that's the way I bought it.
So, when the muffler rusted out and the tailpipe fell off a couple years
back, I replaced it with a 3" in/out flowmaster 40 and 3" tailpipe. It's
loud and mean, but this dynomax system from summit has piqued my interest -
particularly if I can pick up some more grunt out of it.
