Default Exhaust

Going to be putting some ceramic coated pacemaker comps with a 3" high flow to a 2 1/2" exhaust with the same twin 3" tips i have now, how do i go about the high flow as it is 3" and the flange on the extractors is 2 1/2"...just want to know how some of you guys have done your systems.pics would be cool also.

cheers

wouldn't it be better to just use a 2 1/2" cat then?...

i had a stainless cat... but it was 3" so i never kept it to use it... what size is the outlet off the extractors?

Just talk to an exhaust shop, would just be a matter of using 2 x 3"-2.5" reducers.

Why don't you just go a full 3" system? If you are going to get a 3" cat the differance in cost wouldn't be much.
