What size is the collector end of an XB header?

2.5" or 2" ?

J/W so I can figure out my options for a custom tuber exhaust.

I thought the 9 and 12 headers were the same..

What I'm trying to figure out is if I could buy a cheap muffler designed for an XB, and make it work on a pre-99 tuber header which has a 2" collector.

If I can find a muffler that mounts to the 2" collector then I'm confident that I can figure out how to make the mounting work.

shit, my bad, didn't read properly, missed the collector part...

the header pipe it self is bigger on 12 and smaller on 9.

off the top of my head the 12 pipe is 1.75 and the 9 pipe is 1.5, don't take my word for it as I not certain, I am sure some will know the definite answer

The outlet size on the collector is 2" for both headers.
