3" downpipe
 
I just started this waiting for the kteller 3" catback, and magnaflow 3" cat.
then I will finish it with a better welder, I just tack weld it together with a flux mig

I use a 2.5" elbow for the tight turn. and flare out to 3" the 2.5" section is only 5" long, after all the turbo outlet is 2.5" so 5" of 2.5" shouldn't hurt anything.

I've researched the pricing of the material+shipping, and price to use a good welder, plus bay to do the fab , and it was close to the price of buying a ready made one. the material thats I bought for the downpipe alone was over $100.
