Has anyone gotten Thunderfabrications' 3" inch down pipe for the FC. It pretty much goes from the turbo the ypipe.



Do you like it? How's the quality of the pipe?



Let me know, I think this is going to be the pipe i'm going to get for my big turbo.

Simplicity. The RB doesnt' go all the way down to the y pipe. I would have to add pipe to both ends.



The thunder fabrication i would only have to add a piece in the front for the turbo. IT goess all the way down to the ypipe.

RB or Mazdatrix should of make a str8 pipe all the way to the ypipe. They should just warn people about the side affects, loud and a fast time bomb with out the proper upgrades.

It should be ok as long as the welding is done properly.
