Yes run a 3" ZZP DP and buy mine! That way when you top swap eventually your don't gottta chuck the 2.5

seems zzp does and I was misinformed, shipping is insane though $96.08 vs $40 on their ebay account and $25.20 at WBS. But the only way I'm getting a 2.5" dp is from zzp, dammit

hey OP canada guy, you should call and exhaust shop and ask them if they would be able to make a downpipe for you.
im sure it wouldnt cost much.

shipping actually updated to $30 when I put my province and postal code in (since I'm close to the border I guess). Now I know the zzp pipe eliminates the u-bend but I've already had that cut out and straight pipe put in. Could my exhaust guy just cut it and weld it in? Do I also need the gaskets?

haha I don't know if I want to top swap, can't have my DD out of commission and the headaches are going to be crazy installing it with my buddies

Weld in is cheaper to get, but do you still have the flanges where it bolts together?

Maybe some GT guys can chime in, wondering if there is a difference between a 2.5 & 3.0 on an NA 3.8? Remember too that after shipping you still need to pay brokerage from UPS = bend over

get the 3", dont even waste time with that 2.5" mess.

I've heard both sides of it, a lot of people have 2.5" and some people have 3" just have to ask around

don't know if anyone can tell from this picture but this is what my exhaust looks like after the res and u-bend delete.

after going through countless threads about 2.5" vs 3" on N/A I ordered WBS' 3" 304SS catless weld in dp with gaskets, hopefully my exhaust guy can make it seamless. Also ordered a pcm tune from will at overkill

Sounds like a pretty good starting point!
