OBX makes one but why would you want 3" piping?

3" is the best for flow. But you can run 2.5" with very good tuning.

3" is the right size for turbo but depending on the size of the turbo you'll have some lag. i know that the 60 trim t3\t4 does

thats what I've always heard...and you'll lose some umph down low because of the lack of backpressure

you dont need backpressure..you need more exhaust buildup.
