Woww thats wierd having said that my Bora was literally a custom made 3" downpipe to decat right through to the back box which then reduced to 2.5".
On idle it was pretty much silent and an full chat sounds amazing!
On the rolling road it didnt struggle at all, I had a nice smooth line right through the rev range upto redline.

It might be a good idea to buy a reduced size back box, maybe 2.75" or very minimum 2.5".
1.6-1.8t AGU K03s, Forge actuator, Forge 007p, turbo back exhuast, Ths front mount, Catch can, 5 piece silicone boost pipes and creation sports tip. Stage 2 atm 232bhp 270lbs. Waiting for custom mapping :-)

Im pretty sure these do reduce to 2.5 at the backbox, Deffinately the tail pipe that exits the backbox is 2.5.
My pals one has got quiter with use, I think its due to the carbon building up in the silencer. Very quiet on idle and not to loud at full throttle
