stainless.....work with a machine shop so it was easy just had to sand down the sides alittle then when all was said and done i hit it with a wire wheel and it gave it the "not so damn shiny" look "brushed" that i was lookin for....yeah someone on ebay sells one thats cool but i made mine in like 20min for about 10cents

3" all the way from downpipe...im hopeing that since the catback already has a res. that if i replace my 2main cats with another res. it should have a deep *** sound to it and you SHOULD hear the turbo spool nicely.....yeah the catback shrinks down to 2.5" so it can bolt straight up but im gonna cut it off and replace it with 3" flange

Take an exhaust note when you get the chance. I'm thinking of getting the same thing for my S4

Liking the gauge holder- wish I thought of that before getting my A pillar setup- def more "sleeper". Of course it didn't help that my gauges are backlit blue
