One of those two should suffice. Get a 3" DP when you do get one though.

Given my past experience with their products Racing Beat would be my first choice.

EDIT the RB DP(the normal one) is not 3" but the one for their COMPLETE system IS 3"(ACTUALLY A LITTLE bit more)

Making one that fits is not rocket science, and you don't necessarily have to pay for the "name" brand.

I ordered racing beats, when it came I thought it looked like a 10 year old welded it with a 100$ arc welder from canadian tire. I wasnt impressed by it at all. But then again it was barely over 100 bucks.

I got the 3" from corksport. I'm highly satisfied. Good welds, looks great, and fit great also.

I am also pretty happy with my 3" corksport downpipe. Cheap but good quality. By the way I got the way that tapers down to a 2.5" flange for mounting to the stock cat. The downpipe replaces the stock downpipe and stock connecting pipe.

I decided to just get the Corksport, they were good to deal with on my body kit and the price was nice. Thanks for the advice everyone.

I have a straight through 3" downpipe. I connects the turbo straight to the Y-pipe. Works with the stock turbo bolt flange. $125?

I say your local muffler shop (reputable) can do it just as well and most likely cheaper! check it out!

Oh yeah, the pipe is also mandrel bent and really straightens out the bends.

I got the 90 dollar one, welds look great... wierd.... at almost half the price... I must say it's a better deal. It's kinda nice when you don't have to pay extra for the name.

Why does everyone automatically say go fort he 3in, on a stock turbo a 2.5" downpipe will have almost identicle numbers, but the only down fall is it won't spool as fast, but that can be a good thing to so you don't overboost as easily
