    Hi Timmo . If yours is a ZD30 then they are 2 inch only factory and the section of pipe from turbo flange to cat is only 1 3/4 inch .
    The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .

    Extremely happy with the 2.75" exhaust from Beaudesert.

    Really good gains, and much better to drive.

    I put in a 3" Taipan exhaust.
    Definitely have a power boost. Especially when at speed.

    Yes I did, it came down to the fitter not aligning correctly then forcing the mounting bracket upward causing it to break.

    x3 . I'm going down this road at the moment. Getting a beaudesert 3" . Just a heads up, in the curent 4wdaction issue, their ad has a keyword to 10% off and a discount on shipping. Just mention "4WD200". Gonna apply that discount as soon as my quote comes through.

    That is also one of the reasons I went for the 2.75" exhaust ...... and I can't imagine that after installing it and feeling the gains driving around, that going 3" would give better gains anyway.
