Any 3" Over pipes with no fitment issues
 
Does anyone know which over pipes are 3" with no fitment issues?

I already have FBM turbo with 3" down pipe and JDL 3" catted front pipe, so I need a 3" over pipe.

The "without fitment issue" part would vary greatly on whether your engine mounts are good or not.

I have OEM engine mounts and sway bar, car only has 10000km

Based on my experience, mileage is not a good indicator of engine mount condition.

It's a combination of how the car is driven, the condition of the rubber, miles driven with harsh torque scenarios (launching the car, hard shifts, sudden drivetrain shock, etc), among others... even lowering the car and driving it over many harsh bumps would cause the mounts to fail prematurely over time.

Doesn't take much for your OP to hit if the mounts move even a bit excessively.

So, are you saying it I get stiffer aftermarket mounts that will help with fitment? Do you know which 3" OP fit? A lot of them are OP/front pipe combo or are designed for that manufacture's turbo kit.

My 3" JDL over-front pipe fits perfectly... Not quite what you wanted but...

Actually that's exactly what I wanted, except are you running the v-band overpipe front pipe combo? What frontpipe are you running? I have the JDL 3" frontpipe flat flange and didn't realize until after there's a different JDL v-band combo setup.

Yes, the v-band combo ultra-quiet over-frontpipe.

Ok, yeah there doesn't seems to be a modular flat flange 3" over pipe that has no fitment issues, unless someone knows of one?
