I believe the base and GT are the same. I measured my base tailpipe at 2.120" to 2.145", or around 54 mm. The pipe leading into the muffler is 1.92", or a little under 1-15/16" (~49 mm)

I went to a muffler shop,and they told me that 2 1/4 would'nt help. It would only help the sound,but not by much. I will be just waste'ing my money

thats why the magnaflow with 2 1/4 inch catback boasts like 7 hp over stock? thats incredible for an exhaust, considering that the stock is pretty decent, and that 7 was without a CAI....with a CAI itd be even better. 2.5 is if you do engine work, and 3 is for turbo/superchargers.
