The stock pipes at just over 2 inch but the flanges are seriously reduce into a bead for the center section to slide over and clamp down.

The new pipes slip onto the stock front pipes and clamp down. This is so I can remove new pipe and reinstall stock center at any time. The "bead" flange is undamaged. We just put a very small tack weld to keep it from moving/turning over time. Can be ground down if I want to go back to stock.

Stock front pipes outlet to center section. Notice the reduced pipe ends and a raised bead. Kind of a pain to work with, but we managed.

Front connection. Slip-fit and small tack weld to keep from moving. Can easily grind down and slide off if I want to revert back to stock.

Both 45 degree couplers have about 1.5" of length on each end cut off to get the pipes to lay correctly and clean up the excess silicone overlap

Since I can't weld aluminum, I used a port system. A one inch hole is drilled into the pipe and I used a very small amount of JB Weld (heavy duty spec - 550 degree temp) to seal the inner flange and outer nut assembly.
