Just want to see how they are before I order one. I'm going to be ordering one of they aluminized 3" X pipes for my 1 3/4" BBK longtubes.

Mike,

Everything I have used from VRS has been a quality good fitting peice.

Are you going with an O/R or catted X?

Sounds good Mike.

Although I would personally spend the extra $60 and get Stainless over the Aluminized.

Do you you have a 3 inch catback?

I have a 2.5" cat back. I don't see a 3" cat back doing enough to justify the high cost and the mac 3" cat back I looked at has 3.5" tips which is disgusting!! The exhaust before the cat back is more important.

I assume the vrs 3" ball/socket joint will match up to my cat back.

I don't think you will see any gain by going with a 3 inch X instead if the 2.5 inch X.

Might want to give them a call first to see.

I would just go with the 2.5 inch X.

When I first got the combo together and running I emailed Ed Curtis asking about the 2.5" vs 3". I originally told him i'd be running 3" in his cam sheet but due to money I kept my old 2.5" H pipe. He told me not to worry right now as long as I have plans for the 3". He said i'll be leaving a few hp on the table up top (which is what I care about) So yeah, 3" is what my combo needs.
