Default Best 3" Downpipe
Just looking form some opinions, but which company sells the best 3" downpipe for a stock turbo? There are so many companies that I can't decide which one to use.

I noticed the pipe from TA has a bung already welded in for a wide band sensor, nice way to go.... Tom G.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I like the looks of that TA Performance pipe. Get that baby Jet Hot coated and she'll be ready to go.

Lightbulb Re: Best 3" Downpipe
Cat? I would look at what Random Technologies has to offer.

I don't know if I would bother to Jet Hot a stainless pipe. Being that its after the turbo, what are you hoping to gain? I had mine polished, and it looks nice. The cost of the coating will be high, and I'm not sure how much, if any, performance gain could be obtained from it.

I think stainless looks better IMHO. At least it's cheaper to re-polish than to re-coat.
