Exhaust Tip Question

[Detrailers]

So im doing my first exhaust job...its on my Ecoboost Explorer and my question is, if the muffler outlet ID is 2.25 and the tips I want are 2.25 ID how do I attach them. Or do I order 2.50 ID tips that will slip over the muffler outlets, or 2.25 stub pipe between the muffler outlet and tip inlet.
I know this is a rookie question and im def a exhaust rookie, have always had exhaust work done, want to start doing it myself

One option, but pry not the best option, is to use band clamps. I used Torca TorcTite EasySeal stainless steel band clamps for my Gibson exhaust install.

Buy and 2.25 ID/OD adapter and clamp or better yet tack them together. You could probably also expand the tailpipe enough to slip the 2.25 inside.
