3 inch I pipe?

[98Bird]

Ok say I wanna get a 3 Inch pipe from my cat to my flowmaster. Can I do that with my stock cat? I just wanna get the pipe for now and maybe do that cat later if I do that cat at all. Anyone know how much just the pipe from the cat to the muffler could cost me? Rough estimate anyways

Thanks!

i want to do the same thing except go ahead and get the 3" high flow cat and 3" I-pipe back to my flowmaster, rough prices would be good

thanks

dynomax sells the i pipe and over axle piece for 100 bucks.. you would need a custom S pipe from the cat to the i pipe if you wanted a true "Catback"

i have the three inch pipe to my flowmaster in my opinions that makes the exhaust for a 3.8 but thats just mine you can get the replacement 3 inch pipe from a v8 at advanced auto parts or a place lie that and it will come just a little short to connect to the cat but a good muffler shop can weld it on with no problems
not quite sure how to make up for the small gap with 3 inch cause its a small area and the place that did it for me couldnt bend 3 inch pipe. the caost for me was 87.95 i think its been a while and it was from the 93 to 97 body style if i remember correctly just go up and ask a guy that works ther and ask if he can geta 3 icn hpipe for you.

I have a 3 inch mandrel bent I pipe with stock cat and stock S pipe. Exhaust shop just made an adapter to fit. Most shops should be able to do the same sort of thing.

I thought the I-Pipe was straight...Am I wrong? [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

except for where it comes up over the rear end and curves toward the muffler, and the s bend out of the cat then after that its straightens till the arch over the axle

[TheBlackSwordsMan]

I didn't know you called the bend over the axle part of the I-pipe. All I need is the s and a straight pipe to the axle.

[blackbyrd]

i dont know how to take care of the s bend but you can go to an advanced autopart store an dget the part up to the axle for 50 bucks i think the s bend to the converter looks difficult to get in caue its so close but i dont know for sure

[TheBlackSwordsMan]

I'm buying two 45 degree mandrell bent pipes and using that as my s.

[blackbyrd]

where from and what size?

i know this is the wrong spot for this but how are those direct hits working for you cause i was considering that as well.
