Hotrex is right you cant go to big, but your not going to see any gains from a d series going from 2.5 to 3inch on the down pipe. just make sure you use manderal bends not crush bends

yea the exhaust shop im goin to has a bending machine..

i saw in some other post while i was searching..

if u run to big of a downpipe w/ internal wg
it makes the turbo spike..? b/c there isnt enough backpressure on the wastegate.. idk if this is true

maybe someone else on here does.. im new to turbo's this is my first setup

thanks for the replys

might get some boost creep, thats if its 3inch all the way threw, no cat or anythinf like that. "MIGHT" key word

but i would get 3 inch anyway
worst comes to worst, throw a cat on it(but that kinda takes away of the hole performance thing of it), or go external for a wastegate
