Works 3" O2 housing rumor's?

I have been reading in various websites that you guy's are in the process of making a cast 3" o2 housing.

Is it true?

Possible availability date?

cost?

will it continue to use a donut style gasket?

thanks

Indeed, the rumors are true. WORKS has already engineered our 76mm (3") Downpipe to accomodate the new housing. An OEM style donut gasket is still used although the new one is a little bigger Pricing and availability won't be announced for a little while as we are still wrapping up the details on other projects.

THe Helix is a 2.5" housing while the AMS is a 2.75" IIRC.

I'm assuming it's because the stocker is 2.5"

There is also not a lot of room to get a full 3" pipe in a small area. I know, I have a 3" housing, but I don't like it. I think I am going to get the Works when it comes out.

Yes, the WORKS housing will incorporate that bracket.
