Racing Beat is a 80mm so a little over 3". You should consider the whole system which isn't too bad. If you add in the cost for downpipe, fabrication, mandrel bends and welds it might come more than half to what the system costs.
All depends if you know someone who can do it for you cheap. I've had mines for a few years and it's still like new. It's a very high quality made system.

My mistake. I though you were looking for a system with 3' downpipe.
RB is a 2.5" that bolts to stock pipes.

CORK SPORT 'Power Series' Downpipe -Turbo

Just like our cat-back exhaust, the 'Power Series' downpipe is constructed of 80mm (appx. 3 1/8") T304 stainless steal with a polished finish. Mandrel bent for maximum flow design. This full 80mm pipe is made to bolt to an aftermarket/custom cat or mid-pipe.

Price: $169.00

you have to use the stock one. the hole in the turbo is only 2.5" anyways. same with the down pipe flange.

as for the other end. (towards cat) the stock 3rd gen gaskets work.
