exhaust modification questions
hi there. i have a 08 V6 f150 that has a 2.75" exhaust. i have been wanting to split mine after the rear axle and make it duals after that point. the stock muffler sounds pretty good on it so i want to keep it on the truck. most mufflers on the V6 sound bad so there is almost no point in buying a new muffler. but the tips i want to use are 2.5" so somewhere along the line i must shrink the exhaust size to 2.5". anybody know if this will hurt anything? i will be cutting off the last 1-1.5ft of the exhaust and making a Y and running the two pipes out of the back and my tips are a 2.5" inlet but split to duals. so it will look like 4 pipes coming out of the back. but will shrinking the exhaust from 2.75 down to 2.5" hurt anything, is my main question. thanks

so again questions are, 2.75 to 2.5 inch...BAD or GOOD and is a stainless steel tip's inlet able to be stretched or flared to go from 2.5 to 2.75 or close to it?
