sorry, i dont know much about cars or motorcycles. Please help. DAVE.
I don't know the exact size for sure,1 1/4 I believe.you can slide a new muffler on the original pipe. just cut it so you can put the heat shield back on to hide the seam.When you buy a aftermarket muffler,it will fit many different bikes,and will be larger than the pipe on your bike.The reducers slide on the pipe to take up any space before you slide on the new muffler.
