Assembling my new exhaust...

decided to buy this muffler:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAGNA...spagenameZWD1V

so far the current system is:
1. Pacesetter header (dont flame me, it was free! im not too unhappy with it)
2. Stock width tubing all the way back to a ford festiva muffler (thank you mieneke LIFE OF YOUR CAR free replacement :-( definatley sucks)

thats it.

its loud. and it gets all sorts of gas fumes into my cabin.

so, i know if i replace just the muggler with that magnaflow, its gonna be loud. so i need to know just 2 things:
1. diameter of stock tubing
2. a pre-silencer i can use that would work well with that magnaflow

Thanks for all your help guys!!

Stock pipe is 1-7/8" OD. Measure the outlet of your header, buy a Magnaflow/Borla oval with the same size ends, center in/offset out and run the same size pipe all the way back to the rear muffler.
