exhaust size??

[purdueemt]

Hi guys! I am new to this site! I just purchased at 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee - I noticed the exhaust had a problem when I test drove it. ( I think the exhaust had come out of the hanger??) The dealer promised me upon purchasing it, they would correctly have the exhaust fixed. I measured the exhaust before they had it fixed and it measured at 2 1/2" and when I got it back it is at 2 1/4". I think I am getting horrible gas mileage as a result of this.

I was just wondering if anyone knows what the correct exhaust size is for a 2003 Jeep Cherokee??

Thanks!!! :driving-g

What engine?

IN the past it's been 2.25" up to the muffler and 2.5" behind that, unsure on that new of a jeep.

I can't imagine .25" exhaust diameter being the cause of your problem.

Not really, depends a lot on driving habits and other inputs.

Typical mileage for a Jeep. Got any engine lights going off?

well, you gotta do some research...find out how much mileage your specific jeep is supposed to get, then compare that to what you are getting...other than that it doesnt sound like you have a problem at all...
