Downpipe made?? The ones you can buy are normally 3inch with a reducer back down to 2.5
3inch seems to be prefered size.
If a customer came to me and wanted a downpipe it would be a 3inch ordered

Hello mate,

How much are you paying for a custom down pipe?

On the lookout for a complete custom system

Cheers

Afternoon Ed,

I got a few quotes but settled on a local-ish firm with a very good rep, infinity exhausts. They made my Downpipe & decat section (3") for £250, and the remainder of the system is being done next Friday for £450.
