Maybe


The one I got 3 years ago is A smooshed 3". Meaning it has indents on each side into the diameter of the 3" pipe where the flange is slotted to fit up to different O2 sensor housings.

I just got one for my GSX and it's 3" all the way. I think the GSTs are the same.

It's 3" that's pinched.

So I wouldn't call it true 3". I'd wonder if 2.5" like the Megan wouldn't flow better and smoother

What do you guys think of the Megan downpipe? And what's a good low cost o2 housing?

i know two people running the ebay O2 housing but they both had to have some of the welds rewelded after they cracked. Seems like thats the only flaw in them. The megan downpipe seems like a decent downpipe to me. have one to put on my car and my buddys running one on his laser.

The easiest way would be to call Punishment Racing and ask...

What do you need a "true" 3" inlet for anyway? Most MHI turbos have a 2.5" outlet. As does the o2 housings. I guess you can port the evo 3 o2 housing outlet to almost 3" but the dowpipes dont line up right.

I think the "3" of the Punishment was a pita. I'd go with the Megan.
