My custom full 3 inch SS downpipe with vband clamp off my 16G setup. Clears all bars and 05' ACD. Debating on if i should get it massed produced. By the looks of it... Not sure if a machine could duplicate something that intricate in terms of bends and angles.

Full 3 inch from the flange. ID of the 3 inch pipe is maintained the entire way thru. I remember Bryan saying in the classifieds, no dp pipe was a true 3 inch. Well this one is!

went home early today so my gf wouldn't get mad at me again!

hard to say how long it took because i was running around picking up parts, also took the stock turbo off in the morning. i know next set can be made much faster using these as a template.
