FS: Catless 3" down pipe
So I've been through a little down pipe wh0re phase. Finally found one that I liked, so my others have to go.
Still got the Ebay down pipe. Works great, straight flanges. No widebang bung. $80
Second is a Helix 3" bell mouth catless with a cat welded in. SOLD
I'll get some pictures up later tonight when I borrow my girl's camera.
Thanks.

I bought a fellow member's Catless Helix. It was definitely the right price and better built, imo, then any ebay style down pipe. Granted it is just a pipe, I like how much wider the bell mouth portion on name brand down pipes are compared to the ebay ones.

FYI- if you do use the adapter, you will need to purchase an extra 3" exhaust gasket to put in between the dp and adapter.
I actually ran that kind of set up for a few months. You get the turbo spool cause of the down pipe and the stock catback becomes a tad bit louder and a little raspy.
The ERZ is ding and dent free. In order to run a stock catback you'll need one of these adapters (http://legacygt.com/forums/showthrea....html?t=113365) I do have one that I can sell you for an extra $20. I will not include the donut gasket, so you'll have to use yours.

I've got someone interested in both down pipes but they haven't picked them up yet. If he flakes out then yes I wouldn't mind taking it to Cupertino.
