You won't need to wait long on those straps. Next on the agenda. Shot them with oil today.

I measured the pipes just before the weld points using a digital. They're 2.5" or real close to the muffler. From the muffler the measurements follow. I'm not sure it matters, but I recall the LH tail pipe falling off. Muffler dude said the pipe on the muffler itself had warn thin, but there was just enough to weld on another tail pipe.

LH 2.33/128"
RH 2.25/64"

BTW, what do you mean by "not the round stock"? In other terms, the U-bolt on the LH front hanger isn't factory?
