So this is certainly an interesting use of our downpipe adapter. I think it'll probably work for you, but after some modification. Subaru has "interesting" bolt spacing on their flanges. So I bet the 3in side will bolt up to the adapter fine, but the overpipe will not I don't believe.
I just grabbed an adapter, and the gasket that would go between the header and overpipe, and the gasket doesn't fit over the section of tube intended for the donut gasket. No big deal, you could cut that off. BUT, the bolt holes just barely don't line up either. They might, and they might not. I'd remedy that by just cutting a slot for the hole. But you'll probably have to do that in your overpipe flange too. Of course, I'm probably wrong as your set up already allows you to bolt that 3 in flange to the overpipe.
So we'll see. But with such an unorthodox setup that we personally can't test we won't know for sure until you try. Since I can't see whatever question you emailed in, is there any specific question you want to ask me?

You pretty much just answered what my question was. If you think it could possibly work.
I understand there is very limited spacing available between the header and the overripe. Right now I have the stock Overripe however I also bought a DC one. There is some room to move the overpipe and hopefully sandwich this in there, however the question is if that will cause any rubbing issues as far as clearence with the overpipe once that is intalled.
Also @
Cartman you are right however per-grimmspeeds own description it is slightly less than 3" and slightly less than 2.5 where it is flared out to be able to also fit inside if no donut gasket is used and to provide a smoother air pathway.

KoolBRZ i have a feeling you will have yours before mine. Interested to see your results as well. Do you have an aftermarket overpipe or the stock one?
