Stock is 2.75" jfyi. Circumference= diameter*3.14. I'm too lazy to do the math though.

BTW if it is stock pipes with justa FM muffler should i upgrade to 3 inch or just put a cutout on and be done? what would flow better a full 3 inch catback or that setup witha cutout and stock pipes and FM muffler?

Just do a cut out. If you search on Flowmaster, you'll find a lot of info, most of it not very favorable.
