not in 3". I believe Corksport has made a 2.5" mandrel DOWNPIPE (it's real name). IIRC they are only like $250-300 and bolt up to the stock midpipe. If you buy it and their powerseries exhaust you'd have a full turbo back exhaust with no cats and it'll look real nice.

bryangasmena

if you dont mind, what set up are you using?

Jackelope

Apex Downpipe
Cats Removed
Arospeed Exhaust

Will probably eventually go with what he said above ^

Roddimus Prime

I dont have a MSP anymore...traded it for a P5.

If you get a true downpipe and the corksport exhaust you'll have something that will sound AWESOME and if you need to do emissions testing you just swap the exhaust section out and you'll test just like stock again.

Jackelope

^ thats my plan... its too loud right now, and i have no emissions testing here

if you do get that setup, let me know how you like it!

Roddimus Prime

with no cats it shjouldn't be too loud as long as you have a resonator in there. My turbo pinto (up for sale btw) had a 3" crush bent exhaust...straight through to the dynomax muffler...sounded awesome.

Jackelope

why are you selling the pinto? and how much? i'll ask around.

i'm asking $500 come and haul it off... it's a 1976 MustangII with 2.3L carb turbo engine. I've pulled out my nice SVO engine and put back the original carb turbo 2.3L the svo was a forged 2.5L with T4. I'm going to use it in something else. The car has been sitting for like 4 years...it's rough now...the interior is real nice though. $500 just come and get it...i'll even through in some goodies from it...couple of holley carbs etc.
