		I'm very tempted to make my own 3" exhaust system straight off the turbo. Has anyone fitted one to an XUD? Just curious as to what they sound like. I remember hearing DumDums HDI on youtube and it sounding pretty epic.

		Make sure you do it from the side of the turbo, don't use the OEM elbow, otherwise you're wasting your time... Where it comes out the turbo is your biggest restriction... 
You almost want 3.25 downpipe and then 3" back, or 3" down and 2.75 back... As it cools it'll keep up gas velocity...

		Meh 3" is mote than big enough of these tbh, I've seen 650whp 6bts with 4inch pipes...3 inch is big enough to work with in the space as it is...
