Seems like crap to me. I'm getting a refund. I recommend everyone else does the same.
If you are talking about the back end of the front pipe where it bolts to the exhaust, Berk is correct.

Part of the problem with replacing exhaust components piece by piece is the fact that every manufacturer will assume you are using stock everything else...

but my question is: what are you doing where 2.38" > 2.5" makes such a huge power difference? I've done car stuff for 20+ years and small changes downstream of the headers don't make a single difference.

I can purposely misalign a gasket on the exhaust to create some minor turbulence and it won't make any difference on a dyno.
