My SR came with a GReddy 3" turbo elbow.

I need a downpipe/testpipe. Ebay has a brand called Project Nissan with a combo deal, but they don't specify it as 3"... but they do say its for stock turbo and elbow.

Will a downpipe designed for a stock elbow work on my GReddy? Or are they flanges/pipes different (besides size?)???

they will fit aftermarket and stock elbow's.

email the seller to see if it's a 3" downpipe.

i'd get a trust downpipe to go with the trust elbow....

I honestly will down the road, but I need to get my ****ing car on the road... and I still have front and rear brakes to buy.

I don't like to cheap out on the ebay brands, but whatever gets my car on the road at this point is what I'm looking at

I sent him a message 2 days ago asking about it, I'll send another one.

if your lacking on cash the megan 3" pipe is great imo. The flex section makes for a very easy install of the mid&catbacks and also adds a little bump resistance to your system.

Some people say they had clearance issues with Megans, but I'm really skeptical of online opinions...

that would be me... -_-what you could do is take it to a muffler shop and have them chop off about an inch and a half on the down section of the down pipe... thats what I did... and that clears up any clearance issues.

How dumped are you though? I have 1.8-2.0 inch springs on KYB's, I don't know of any spring that goes lower than that until you get to coilovers.
