It is quite possible the New Edge ones aren't the same.

What are you measuring?

You need to measure the opening of the ball, not the cup.
In measuring exhaust you need to specify ID or OD.

You can have a 3.5" Collector but if its reduced to 2" at the ball then thats what you have. The ball is what seals against the cup.

My old pics showed the difference.

I am well aware of how to measure an exhaust.

I think you need to post pics before you continue to argue, otherwise its a pointless argument.

Ah yes, so I am going to rip my exhaust apart just to prove you can't read a tape measure. Really why don't you post proof, heck if starting a separate thread with the measurements in it is what you call proof I can do that too.

Has anyone ever told you that your a dick?


I thought the thread that I made dedicated to just this, years ago was proof enough.

Quoting a thread that you made doesn't provide any more proof than you saying it is 2.25", regardless if it is you speaking in this thread or one you made years ago it is still you saying something without any proof. Only a complete idiot quotes themselves when trying to prove something.

Its not my fault you havnt been here long enough to have seen the photos.

What you just said pretty much insults anyone out there who has EVER recorded anything, be it the theory of relativity or how much SSM's heads flow.

You need to crawl back under your Troll Bridge.
Hell you dont even know if you have aftermarket or stock headers.

Here is a life tip for you Neo, Proof is everything, without it you have no way to back up what you say.

The Theory of Relativity has scientific proof to support it. The flow of SSM heads can be measured thus providing proof of how much they flow. Neither of those examples are some punk talking out of his @ss.

And I know I have stock headers, if you understood context you would know that, but apparently reading and comprehension isn't your strong suit, which explains why you can't even read a tape measure correctly.
