I think that's what mine was .... 60mm.

The flange does, however, mate up to the stock B-pipe.

As long as you get the correct doughnut gasket for the flange, there shouldnt be any problems at all, it would help match up.

I believe this is correct on both counts, though it demonstrates one of the "problems" with the Spoon muffler, aside from its relatively high price.

Designing it to bolt up to the stock B-pipe means that there's a significant bottleneck at the flange, which obviously isn't ideal from a performance standpoint. If you're trying to build a high-performance system using this muffler, I'd suggest ultimately having the flange replaced with one that's equal in diameter to the rest of the piping.

I believe the flange is the same, but the ID is different. It does create bottlenecking, but that is why spoon sells their own B-pipe.

Even the B-pipe features the same bottleneck, since similarly to the muffler section, it is designed to be able to bolt to the stuck muffler.

Yea thats correct. I made mines 2.5 piping so it can fit like a glove with the spoon headers
