Exhaust dimensions

[Tommy McIntosh]

Hey guys, I need to gets some parts for my exhaust this weekend and I need to know the inner and outer dimensions of the original stock exhaust pipe between the catty and the muffler on a 2002 explorer xlt 4.0, I would call meineke but their business hours are within my work hours, Thanks!

My best advice is to invest in any kind of calipers, even harbor freight ones will do, it's what I've been using. Since it's an older vehicle chances are that exhaust has been replaced/pieced together with different kinds of pipes, the only way to be 100% sure is to measure the exact one on your car. I am pretty certain stock is 2". I'm guessing you need a new flange and gasket for the connection there? When I did mine I just told them what I needed, and what my year and model was and it fit, I had to come up with my own bolts however to hold it together as the ones provided weren't long enough for whatever reason.
