When I bought it from them in 99, I bought the full 3 inch stainless system and the downpipe is 2.5 into 3. Not sure if they have changed it since. I would buy elswhere, just do a search in the vindor feedback for forward motion and you will see how pleased people are with their service, including me.

not going to buy from them but someone i know has one for sale and wanted to know since im going with a 3" sw in the future

if the price is right id just buy it cause you can always fab it up to reach your new svalve later when your ready. their like 6 or 7 hundred bucks.

I have the FM 3 inch system, and its a 3 inch DP, but it chokes down to 2.5 inches right at the swing valve. Its a very nice system though short of the DP.

well can always get the tu dp with the sw and be set

price for the exhaust is gonna be 350

That is too much.

right find me some that will sell me a complete 3" system for less oh yea in SS

Buy it, I think I had 700 with shipping in mine. It is a very nice setup. Something about being able to take the exhaust apart by hand after three years of being on the car, I can vouch for it.

MR OVERKILL if you need a full 3" downpipe, in and out, try the unit from Turbos Unleashed, here's a pix of the part which is designed to work w/ their 3" swing valve, these pieces work fantastic, worth every penny:

**Mr Overkill** · 11-22-2005, 10:09 PM

thats what im most likely getting a 3" sw and the matching dp shit for 350 for a complete ss 3" is still a "steal" the extra 100 for the dp from tu is not donna kill me

I've seen the 3 inch swing valve in person. You will not be disappointed, it's massive, compare to the 2.5 inch swing valve.

**Mr Overkill** · 11-23-2005, 05:30 PM

yea i know been told "it makes no extra power" lololol nice joke huh

Ondonti · 11-23-2005, 06:13 PM

Doesnt FM have a 3" ss for much less then $300

260+TU DP and swingvalve.
