I never dis'd the GT emblems. I told you they looked pretty cool. I actually thought they were from the rear of a New Edge Mustang. They look similar.
But as for the 2 1/2 to 2 1/4 pipe. Um,.. your bud telling you it wont matter isnt the guy who is selling them is he?
Look at it like this. Picture in your mind,.. a straight piece of 4" pipe 3ft long. Now imagine a reducer going to 2" and then expanding back out to 4". The effective flow of that pipe has been reduced to 2",.. despite 90% of it being 4".
The entire exhaust is like a chain,.. its no better than the weakest link. Or in this case,.. it can not flow any more than the smallest pipe.
Here,.. I drew a picture for you to better understand.
In your case,.. its doubtful that your engine needs large pipes. But 2.5" exhaust systems have proven to be effective over stock 2.25" pipes.
