3" downpipe on 2.5" 4 bolt exhaust flange?? pics please!!
Wanted to see how other people have done this. I've heard of people crushing the pipe to make the bolts fit and of people using a 2.5" to 3" adapter. Please post pics!!

I used Brood's (HT member) 2.5" to 3" transition piece for like $16 shipped. It worked well and easy to weld on. Better flow IMO as well

Just out of curiosity what turbos have this flange?
Would I have to worry about this on a GT28R?
