i've read that it was 2.75 but i can't find any mufflers with a 2.75 inlet. or would i need one with a bigger inlet so i can clamp it on?

when i did mine i was told it was a 2.75 so i got a 3" muffler. It wasnt right. I had to do alot of filling with the welder to close the gap. Just get a 2.5 and if it has to be a little bigger use a exhast pipe expander.
