    I'm going to buy an electronic cutout just wondering what is the size before the cat before ordering? 2.25 or 2.5 for my 2005 GP GXP

    thanks

    Factory is most likely 2.25".

    Aftermarket GXP exhaust is 2.5" from what I've seen.

    I'd save your money...cutouts are junk.

    You should get a Downpipe as the restriction is in the downpipes

    Hogan Performance downpipes are the best in the business for the 5300 WBody.
