tubing is measured by the OD, pipe is measured by ID. youre not gonna find 3" ID tubing. i would just go to 3.25 if its that big of an issue.

Yeah but there has to be a supplier somewhere because Thermal has true 3" exhausts so not sure where they are getting their pipe from....

even if you do find it, you're going to have a hard time finding flanges and such to match it since they are machined to accept 3" OD, not ID

To the op, I very highly doubt Thermal is going to tell me where they get their stuff and lose a sale. I can try but I doubt it.....

Thank you for checking out our site! I know I'm repeating what everyone else has already said but I'm not aware of a single stainless tube manufacturer that will guarantee the ID of any tube. 3.125" OD x 0.065" tube is available; however, the cost is astronomical compared to 3" OD x 0.065 (16ga) tube.

3" OD 0.065" is 2.875" ID +/- 0.03".
It's perfectly possible that an exhaust manufacturer is running 3.0" ID tubing. It's not that much more expensive to get things rolled to your specs when you are doing volume. All of our 1-7/8" and 2-1/8" tubing is custom rolled for us.
