Default Just had 3" true dual made....pics

Got it all made today. Basically it is all 3" piping with mandrel bends (except one small 5 degree crush bend), a race muffler inline each pipe, and a main rear muffler (ebay brand, not too bad though). All in all it cost me $700 to have it made (300 labor, 400 parts), but could have been $1000 easily if I had bought nice mufflers. The sound is great (just gotta fix a w/g exhaust leak thats pissing me off). I wish I didn't have to angle it as much as I did, but I guess there is some give and take when you make a true 3" dual for $700

Here are some pics, all I had at the time was my camera phone, I will post better ones sometime later.

I'm actually only running 3" from my 2.5" testpipes right now. I am waiting for SGP or another company to come out with the 3" downpipes w/ wastegate dumps. But since I am still on the stock motor and don't plan on 550 rwhp right now I think I will have more than enough flow.

Thanks guy.

There is no X or H pipe, just 3" completely seperate. There is no need for an X/H on a turbo car.

Nice and all for $700! I bet when I get to that stage it ends up costing me $2000.

I would have done burns, but they are so damn expensive. I went with dynomax bullet 12" race mufflers.

well I will be on the dyno this weekend for tuning, but there will be no way to compare just the exhaust. I am basically going from dyno at 5.4psi and testpipes to dyno at 8-10psi (not sure what yet) and full 3" dual, plenum, EU, fuel system, etc. I really can't wait
