We (96Zetec & I) tried and the 2" does go on, just really, really tight...but the idea of restricting a 2.5" tb into 2" pipe just doesnt make sense.
We prototyped with pvc, took measurments, then returned everything to home depot...Cost to Date $0.00! The exhaust shop we frequent told us it would be about $10-$15 to bend up a 2.5" pipe...
