Default 3" Downpipe?

Anyone know of a company that is selling them? Anyone using one and if so did you notice a difference?

It's a Drag III on a 00 Si and a 3" random cat w/ 3" piping all the way back connected to a 3" Apexi N1..

Arturbo is working on them right now, in fact he's in Texas. He could probably use your help.

Closed loop?

meaning the exhaust from the wastegate flows into the downpipe?

Jeez I bet that is quiet!

Yes mine is working great. The spool-up is improved and the top-end is INSANE.

The closed-loop makes WOT full-boost runs quiet.

Even the thermal 3" with no cat and no mid-pipe resonator is still a quiet setup.

Arturbo/anyone - do you have a pic w/ the downpipe installed? I only ask because I would like to see how the oil return line is routed. IT looks like the line would run a larger loop to clear the downpipe now that the wastegate extension is installed and I was wondering how close to the ground that would be.

I have my oil return line routed straight down into the oil pan.
If Im not mistaken, mark has his like this:

but we worked around the oil return line. Mark may need to clear this.
