I think you should get a second opinion on your pipe size. I think your measure stick thingie may be slightly off. 3 1/2 in is a bigger hole than my 12 gauge can make at ten paces.....

In John's defense, Someone may have measured it wrong and told him it is 3 1/2. If it is that large I would think about replacing it with a full 3 inch pipe all the way back. Someday.
Now there is a reason for a huge exhaust pipe. But again that doesn't come into play until you are pushing a shitton ofCFM's. Waaaaaay more than a stock turbo could ever dream of. We're talkin like a freakin locomotive turbo
It's funny that "most" people think that the bigger your exhaust the better everything will work,...silly Americans and there "size issues" It's all about having the proper meshing of parts, sizes etc..

Don't worry about it. I can have some made if you can't find any. Just a matter of stretching some pipe with a expander. My cousins shop can handle that . takes about 5 minutes The best thing would have been to get the correct sized muffler inlet
But I can overcome that hurdle.

Sounds good John. I had a feeling it was 3inch.
Ant, if you are free Thursday you should cruise up with John and let me check those bad boys out. I like the style of them.
