....but it translates to an almost 50% increase in flow area (9:6.25). This will have a profound impact on EGT's. Here in the 'states, a 3" JT downpipe sells for around 100 quid, a very reasonable price. And, being aluminised-steel, it's at least as good as the original (I've had mine on over 3 years and it shows little sign of corrosion). Also, all engineering materials have both good and bad aspects - for example, stainless can be brittle and doesn't take kindly to heat-cycling - I have seen stainless pipes crack. I'm not sure what Elkparts would get for the JT, but it can't be much more than what we pay for them here in the 'states.
