Can anyone tell me if my mid pipe is standard?

I'm pretty sure it is... if so, is that thing a silencer or CAT?

.. and would the pipe be 2.5" ?

Cheers peeps

I would second that, standard 2.5" with cat.
I have seen them like this with the cat removed tho straight through you could only tell by looking down the pipe.

Not sure what your downpipe looks like? Most AM mate to the original centre section so use a new O ring type gasket.

My downpipe looks like this, 2.75" at the centre section join:


at the turbo end its 2.5" and looks like this:

Should fit to the centre section fine with new doughnut washer are you sure its 2.75" and not 2.5" most taper to the standard 2.5"

yup deffo sure... its visibly larger than the turbo end... and measured it just to check.

you think it will be ok to get a 3" gasket like this:

Measure the pipe not the flared out bit at the join-as this will be bigger, your center section would be a std factory resonator and will be 2.5" joined to your 2.5" downpipe.

The gaskets don't always need changing as well, I changed my center section to a H&S pipe and the front dounut and rear gasket where fine and reusable.

As above mate, its the pipe size not the expanded joining section
