cut it down about 2-3" but cutting it near the base of the tapered portion where it enters the middle iron and cut it near where the filler makes a 90 degree bend. grind the paint off and flatten the tubing and have it welded together and reinstall it into the block with some sealant on the compression fit tapered neck.

Two non-plastic options:
Higgi: US$100 including freight, 3" connection, cast aluminium
Guru Motorsports: A$160 (~US$120) plus freight, 2.5" connection, cast and machined aluminium

I got one only took 10 days to get it and it fits nice but the inlet is a little closer to 2 3/4" than 3"
point is dont buy an expensive coupler untill it is in hand and you measure it.

Yeah it's not quite 3", it's 70mm, but a 3" coupler will work.

Guys, size is 70mm as you see it in picture above
i dont make any other sizes, just this one
if you have original greddy FMIC piping, this is bolt-on issue, otherwise wait with getting proper coupler....
i never posted its 3", its misinformation - in my shop link you could find the picture with size
El Nene, i`ll have yours shipped asap, thanks!
