Default 3" downpipe needed!

I was wondering where I could get a good 3" downpipe for my car??? Also, does anybody know anybody else who makes a 3" catback other than Thermal?

Is arts dp a full 3" all the way from the compressor, or a 2.5"-3"? Is there much difference in power and spool up with the 2.5"-3" over a straight 3"? When I finaly get enough for my turbo, I would like to have the 3", but want to obtain my A/C!

Arturbo made 10whp and another 10ft/lb tq with the 3" DP. I dont think he's making them anymore.. but he might make an exception?

There is no way to have a full 3" and keep AC. As you may see on the stock Drag 3 on the bottom bolt, it comes preinstalled for you becaus its so tight. Now, on the 3" its even worse, so we had to use an notch it so can fit. As many of you remember, we had some problems with the drag because we really never had a car to work on, just a mock up of my spare B18C. Well, we found out thats not the way to make the downpipes because it can be off an inch and throw everything off. So as we speak, we do have a car we can work on and the only thing I can say is soon. As far as I know some more testing needs to be done, and we should hopefully come out with them by the beginning of the new year.

Yes, the Rev-hards have been done for a while because we used my car. Everyone keep your eyes posted on Honda-tech for more info and a possible group buy.

If you want something smaller you might just order one from Ben@importparts.com
I know he can get them for you.

I can't see how it wouldn't fit. Isn't the manifold the same for all B series motors?

Art,
I might be interested in the revhard 3" DP if you start up production again on them.
It would need to happen within the month, or early next month, though....Otherwise I'm just taking my DP to a good muffler shop and having him modify it to be 3".
Also, would you consider offering the closed loop for us revhard freaks this time?

The downpipe is for all B-series motors and will even fit Drag 2 kits.

Ryan, I dont know about the closed loop but maybe a dump tube. Im trying really hard as if my life isnt busy enough.

Cool....don't sweat it.
If I end up getting the 3" DP from you, I can always bring it to my muffler shop guy Albert to close the loop for me for probably $30.
It'd probably be cool to hear it before/after closed loop anyway...
