Default Flex Pipe or Test Pipe for Turbo Exhaust Setup?

Soon I'll need a shop to fit the DRAG downpipe to something to fit my 3" Thermal exhuast. I'm not using a cat, so what should I have them attach in place?

you an use either way, if you use a flex pipe, just weld a 2.5" to 3" flare to the flex pipe and weld the regular 3" 3 bolts flange to it to connect it to the cat-back

if you;re using a test pipe, just make sure you use the spring loaded bolts to compensate for the jerking, so that it'll have less stress on the manifold...

What about a 3" Hi-Flow Cat?

does anyone have any problem with the flex pipe whistling?

also why not just get a 2.5" flex pipe weld it to the downpipe retaining the downpipes flange? Just remove the same size of piping as the length of the flex pipe.
