Thanks for the info, I'll probably go with something like that.

I imagine installation isn't too difficult right? I only ask because I remember hearing that some people weld their exhaust where it connects, and that doesn't sound right to me.

It also helps if you have a welder yourself or if you have to go somewhere/borrow one.

I used extra flanges I got from Napa for less than $10 each. So everything is welded, and I can unbolt each piece individually.

However, my question is for those moving to a complete 2.5" setup.

I got a deal on a stock downpipe, it rubbed like CRAZY on the front DS knuckle.

How are you keeping a 2.5" pipe safe in that area?

you mean coming down off the headers...if I'm not mistaken it needs to be dented in slightly so it does not rub...im sure ppl on here who are running the 2.5 can answer that

Uh huh. It worked.

Seriously, though, a new pipe cost me less than $40. So it can be replaced real easy.
