Default help with turbo and downpipe question please!

Ok I know this has been brought up before but here it goes.. I have a Billet 6262 .82ar and its got a 2.5in outlet on the hot side, now my downpipe is also 4 bolt 2.5in and I have a 3in cat back ... Now do I get the 4bolt 2.5in to 3in vband adaptor and buy a 3in vband downpipe or should I say **** It and run the 2.5in dp and dump it into my 3in catback? Please any help would be great ... Thanks guys

i know it sounds cheap but i bought a 5 bolt 3 inch down pipe off ebay and mixed it with a full race downpipe and made a mix up but im almost 100% they have 4 bolt 3 inch downpipes you dont need to go to vband to get to 3 inch. so why not do that ??

Well honestly I have one granted I cut it up and used mostly the bends but I was impressed for the price it really wasn't bad and the pieces I did use haven't cracked I know they have a return policy look at if you don't like it send It back I think you'll be surprised and another thing to think about when having someone make you a downpipe they may not be familiar with what manifold you have sometimes it has to be done on the motor ya know. Good luck with whatever your choice is

I really appreciate the help man.. Im contemplating on goin with a full race ram horn and full race downpipe and ditching my peakboost kit .. i wanna go v band and move from a 38mm wastegate to a 40 or 44mm wastegate ... Dunno if i feel like dropping all that money tho but Im gonna give full race a call monday and see what they say and get prices and if anything ill get that eBay one and chop and mig whatever needs to be done

Get a 2.5" 4 bolt to 3" viand adapter or make one

Do not mix fullrace quality suff with eBay garbage Chinese stuff. Contact fullrace and they will make you an adapter or they can also just make the downpipe to bolt right up and be 3"
