my custom diy 05 dp
Here's the dp i made custom for my 05' MR.
-it clears all the lower tie bars without spacers.
-is fully 3 inch from the 02 housing to all the way back.
-still uses the factory doughnut.
-built from burns premium 304 16 gauge ss.
-tig welded.
-vband connection.

I just installed the TurboXS and it fits very nicely. It comes with small (I've seen much thicker) aluminum spacers, it's all stainless, and it has one of the best prices.

We have luck with both the 65 and 70 mm units. Both of which are NOT 3". 2.55 and 2.75 respecfully
I would venture to guess that is why we have never had fitment or performance issues.

believe me if that dp could be done with less bends and less twists and cuts, and still fit the way it does it would have been done. the acd transfer cases make 3 inch dp fitment a real fabrication task.
and as far as not being polished, weld style, cuts ect... this is the way real race car exhaust systems are done. built in the USA by hand.
