[eclipse1999]

I'm looking to buy a downpipe on ebay to go with my apexn1, this downpipe comes with o2 housing welded on. looks pretty cool. i think its 3in all the way to the top.

Looks ok, but thats definatly not three inch all the way to the top. The outlet for the turbo is only like 2 at best.

It's not 3" up top and I would say to get a seperate o2 housing. I think it would be a pain in the butt to bolt that thing up IMO.

Not only a pain to bolt it up, but having to take it off, if you needed to take your turbo off, or anything like that, I would say just go with the usual and make things easier. Just my 2 cents

DEFINITELY looks like it'd be a pain to take on and off if you were doing anything to your turbo. Not to mention the fact that then you couldn't go to an o2 dump if you wanted! I like being able to take off my turbo without taking off any exhaust piping.

+1 on everything said thus far, but also keep in mind if you ever decided to upgrade the turbo or run a different o2 housing (maybe with a dump or external WG) you'd need to either cut the o2 housing off that down pipe or buy a new down pipe.
