I know there is not much out there, however can you use the Triflo made for the 545 or 550? I looked under the car and the exhaust piping is huge. It must be 3"+. Going with Magnaflow would squeeze it down to 2.25" not my preferred choice. Any input on how big the pipe actually is?

If you go with Magnaflow, make sure you don't go with a smaller inlet pipe or you'll lose back pressure, thus causing you to lose power.

Yes I agree. What size inlet do you have?

2.25. Stock was 2.5, so it's within reason. Not sure what the stock 535 is, but I doubt it's 2.25.
