    I'm terribly sorry for the noob post.

    I've been searching for an eBay downpipe for my Gli. It seems these all have a 2" outlet and the stock GLI piping is 2.25. I've heard of people doing this no problem.

    So what's the secret? Does it just work? Or is a reducer usually needed?

    Sorry again, I'm kind of suffering from a brain fart.

    most all the ebay downpipes i've seen come with a reducer section that bolts to the stock catback. most are 3" and reduce to 2.25", but some are 2.5" and reduce to 2.25

    Yeah that's what I thought. Although most say they reduce to 2"

    unfortunately ebay specs can never be taken too seriously
