I am looking to add an exhaust tip to my expedition. I measured my tailpipe and it measure 2.75". I am having trouble finding a tip with that size inlet. For those of you that do not have the factory chrome exhaust tip, can you measure the piping to verify if I am measuring correctly. Most vehicles are either 2.5" or 3" piping. Thanks for your help.

 

I found the same problem. I have found a few 2.75' inlets, but they were ugly and too expensive.

 

i think i might purchase the borla round intercooled. It has the 2.75" inlet, and an 4"outlet, just not quite sure if 4" outlet is too large or not.

 

same thing here,local auto zone's dont carry our size,may just go to the dealer and pony up for a ford tip $$$$$.

 

4" will look too big in my opinion.

 

I have one on my 07. The 07 came with it. But Ford shows a price of $100 which seems kind of high as it is just a chrome tube as far as I can tell. Nothing special.

 

just put a tip and muffler in mine. i used 2.5 tip and exhaust shop stretched it to slide ove pipe and then welded it.

 

how did they stretch it?

 

They have machines that can bend/stretch pipes, etc.


How much did they charge?

 

125 for muffler and tip installed. through a buddy though. i could see about 200 max for the parts and labor. another shop quoted me 190 for same thing.

 

Nice, what muffler did you get? How does it sound?

 

it sounds really good. wanted a magna flow but got a flowmaster delta force because i wanted it to sound good, not loud. It has quite a woosh sound at high rpm's but not much rumble. and the rest of the rpm range sounds great and deep.

 

....was at the "STEALER" today and they lived up to their name, and it's over $100.00, no way is it worth that kind of money,guess it stay's stock.

 

go aftermarket. if they do mandrel bent pipe for the exhaust they can do it. its the machince that flares the end so it can slide over original size.

 

Able to find a 2.75 in. inlet slant stainless tip for $35 after tax and shipping. Here is the link for those interested. I believe they also come in with straight round rolled tip as well. Decided for the smitttybilt stainless over the carriage works, basically because it opens it up to 3.5 in. instead of 3"
