I dont think its worth the 300+ dollars. I have one on my 944 turbo and I only got it because I got the true 3" test pipe instead of the regular one which flares out after the downpipe/ testpipe connection.

I'm also interested in upgrading to a 3" DP, but you may be limiting yourself by being brand specific. I think there are a few different ones out there.

I was inclined toward SFR since I allready have the catback and it's a very nice piece and wanted to go with a complete exhaust.

Wasn't SFR was just reselling the downpipes made by Fabspeed? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I know the one that I bought directly from SFR quite a while back showed up with a Fabspeed label on it. You might try there instead.

The pressure drop from the stock turbo down-pipe vs 3" is approximately 1psi (from turbo to test-pipe). 3" is what will fit here on relatively stock cars.

What's another pound of boost worth to you?

I have one like this I could sell. It is LR and pretty sure I had it ceramic coated, need to verify. I am flying back home to Florida from Bangkok for Thanksgiving. I can't verify until then, not sure how fast you need one.

oh man, I had a 2.75" SFR downpipe for sale for awhile but just sold it on ebay. Ceramic coated & DEI wrapped.

I could get you a Fabspeed 2.5" or 2.75" for a good price.
