first it was advertised as 3" but that's not the inner diameter. It's more like 2.75.

Second and worse of all, there are crack lines on the inside which I just noticed and they(cs?) tried to fix it with weld beads but even the weld bead have cracks. I don't know if this is normal or not but I thought I'll let you all know. Don't buy it unless you can see what is on the inside of the pipe.

I bought it from a major vendor too. sux. I would have been better of buying ebay.

sux also..I already paint it and they won't take it back ..argh

I have their one piece turbo extension and downpipe, which works pretty damn good. Maybe you just got a bad one...?

Submerge that bish in a bucket of paint thinner. Get the paint off, and return it. If they say no, call your credit card company and dispute the charge (you will win 99% of the time).

it's aft of the turbo anyway so I'm just going ahead and install it and hope for the best. If it cracks, I'll just weld it from the outside. I still need a downpipe but I think I'm going with another vendor.

ah well the lucks continue
