question about downpipe

[highintenzity4]

Hey guys rite now I have an ebay 3 inch downpipe. My brother bought it, when the car was his. My question, is the buscher racining 3 inch downpipe alot better? Will I feel more power? I know the downpipe I have now is 2.75, then goes to 3 inch, buschers is suppose to be a complete 3 inch dp. Should I spend the extra 350?

is yours mandrel bent or crush bent? 3" at the inlet wont work with a stock o2 housing

Also if i get tuned with open downpipe would that produce alot more power than with a full exhaust? Please answer guys. I plan on going to get tuned next Friday, but I need to know what Im going to do. Thank you.

porting it wont help, the problem lies with it just being too big and you wont be able to bolt it on, it will be bigger than the space between your studs...mine is custom and its 2.5" for about 4 inches and then goes to 3.....as far as running open downpipe, that will be loud as hell, annoying, will eventually kill you since it will dump the gases right below you and to me doesnt seem worth it....a full 3 inch all the way back will work fine
