Should be 3" in and out. And since you didn't ask, I'll tell you anyway, unless you've got your heart set on 40 series Flowmaster, look around at other mufflers. Contrary to their name, they don't flow well at all, and drone a cruising speeds.

Look into the cherry bomb's. The one I want is the one pyro has now. The cherry bomb extreme. They have other models, but check out youtube also and check out the sounds. See which one you like.

You guys all have cherry bombs? You like them alot? I have a magnaflow on and it was good at first but I had the truck straight piped for a bit then put the mag back on and its brutal now.. Its got a nice rumble at WOT but its really quiet just driving around and cant hear **** at idle.. I want somthing throaty where you can hear the idle.. I was thinkin cherry bomb but wasnt sure, I know the smaller the muffler the better so I was looking at similar magnaflow mufflers to the cherry bombs. just some 8in long 4inch diameter round type but if they are gonna sound just like the bombs then I might as well save some money and go that route??

I love my vortex! Best muffler I have ever owned! (I should work for Cherrybomb as often as I say this) but it has a great rumble at idle and screams at WOT!

You can hear it rumble at idle, but it's mild mannered when your cruising. When you step on it... she screams. Here's a vid of mine, only revs up to about 2700rpm though. I need to do a driveby video where you can really hear it, but my only working camera is my phone, and the sound quality is terrible.

pyro has the cherry bomb extreme. I don't know if this is the full link to his video or not because I'm at work and they block youtube from the internet here but here is what I got from him.
