downpipe thickness

I was only able to find 16g 3" stainless to fabricate my downpipe. Anyone have problems with 16g? Where can I get thicker large diameter piping for a dp

Yeah standard 1.6mm exhaust pipe is fine.

Burns stainless has larger diameter tubing, I think it's 16ga, but that's more than adequate.

That is exactly what i used on my DP 3" 16G. You shouldn't have a problem. What turbo setup are you running?

I'm actually just running a bnr but I'm making a bell mouthed dp. I don't know how often I will be taking my car, but I just don't want to have issues with it. Anyways, it doesn't seem like people are selling thicket than 16 gauge for 3"anyways
