O2 housing 3 inch outlet?
The CBRD O2/Downpipe combo is completely amazing. I get it's not the cheapest (hard to compete with China prices when your stuff is hand made in USA), but from a performance standpoint, and quality, it is flat out great.
One of the many "little things" that add up to a great performing car.
With that said, there's tons of random off the shelf setups that work just fine for less. It's all in what you want out of the car. I wanted the most, and the CBRD piece gave me that.

I did a lot of 02 housing research before narrowing it down to CBRD or Invidia. I ended up with the Invidia, mainly due to the direct fit into my current DP and price. The Invidia is cast with bigger opening into the DP than the generic 02 housings (Megan) and seems to have good flow.
I also looked into many custom tig-welded housings and didn't feel that they do a good job when it comes to flow, especially the 90° turn. While I don't have back to back dynos or evidence of my theory, I drew a quick examples below explaining my opinion.

I have read that a few folks having issues with Invidia not sealing properly after the install. Did you have issues with the donut gasket that was provided by Invidia?

Dang, why y'all gots to be all dramatic? I'm just asking questions. Just to clarify, I will be upgrading to FP Red BB or a BBK turbo. So I may just go with Invidia but I want to clarify those that have it or used it. What issues have you run into with sealing?
I see that CBRD mentioned some cracking.
What was done to those EVOs?
Did they have just an Intake, TBE, and a maxed out tune at around 330-350AWHP? Or did these have 500+AWHP?
Too much pressure, too much heat?

I'm currently running stock IX turbo. I'll upgrade to either an FP Green or an FP Red. I'm buying everything in pieces. The O2 and the exhaust are the next pieces to the puzzle before I do a tune.
Coming from Honda world and figuring the O2 pipe is restrictive. I have an AMS 3 inch downpipe. Wanted to make sure it mates up 3 inch O2 outlet to 3 inch downpipe inlet. I'm a bit **** about details like that.

Well with that said do not even waste your money on an o2 housing. Get the Green or Red with FP's new SS hotside. Buy a down pipe from MAP that will bolt up to it. 3" from the hotside to a 3" down pipe. Done and done
