Best fitting downpipe..

I was going to use a 2-3/4 since i plan on keeping the stock turbo and cat. Which one fits the best and is ceramic coated. I know of the Works unit but over $500 just seems a little on the high side. Is this really the best dp bar none? I don't mind paying if it fits perfect and is the highest quality but anything less for that prive is robbery in my opinion. Feedback wanted....Please!

Installed a Works today, it's the only one that seemed fit (MR). Sounds clean through the gearbox and mean at idle.

I have the works ceramic coated 3" downpipe. Quality is bar none, artful to say the least. Bolts right up to the stock cat. Fitment=perfect.

My B&B installed without any issues. The only problem was my Cusco Underbrace would rub slightly. A couple shims later the clearance was perfect.

Works ceramic coated 2.75" fits like stock, no rattle, no rub, etc. You might want to think about the ceramic coated 3" since it is less expensive. But supposely, the 2.75" is best for stock turbo, but is hella expensive?!? Either way, you do pay for what you get and in WORKS case, nothing but great quality piece.
