Talking 3" Catback Exhaust

I'm looking for a 3" catback (new or used). Must have the following:

1. Stainless steel


Particular exhausts I'm interested in include: Blitz Nur-Spec (R and Touring), HKS Hi-Power, APEXi GT Spec (might be 2.75?), Tanabe Racing Medalion, and Cobb.

Thanks for any interest. Talking offers.

Ian

I'm looking for something that is 3" all the way back. If I'm not mistaken, that exhaust tapers, right?

Wow, thanks for all the info AllSubaru. I really wasn't expecting that. It looks nice, but I really want a full 3". Besides, why would I want to match "the same back pressure as the OEM WRX?" Backpressure is bad on turbo cars. Plus, I'm adding downpipe/uppipe.

Aerosim - email sent.
