'86 Bronco pipe size???

What is the pipe size from the cat. to muffler 2.0" or 2.25".

Also who is the best to buy from for muffler and dual tail pipes?

Mine has dual tail pipes on it now and today drivers one looked funny so I crawled under and found where it mounts to the muffler rusted, so I will need to replace muffler and pipes.

Factory I believe its 2.25" at least it was one my 95.

Best bet is to go to a local exhaust shop and get some quotes. Dual 2.5" would be great. You don't need dual 3" and ask for mandrel bends.

Dual 2.5 will drop back pressure and reduce torque development. 3" single all the way back or the equivalent dual is best even for the 351.
