Sounds like a good plan to me!

3 inch waste of money, 2.5 flows plenty and creates backpressure for the turbo...

Good question, why not?

I picked up my 3" downpipe and system this weekend... Looks badass
I'll take some pics of it prior to installing. Makes the 2.5" system look tiny!

Also got a pd150 intake manifold and forge side mount to go in dealing with ken has been a treat. My wife's cr is getting some toys soon as well.

2.5 " d?P is good,then go to 3" at the first connection.you lose velocity if pipe is to big at the turbo.diesels do not need back pressure!

You get that sound from about 2500rpm until just over 3000. It's a pretty good sound overall, not too loud inside the car either. My brother has a Borla cat back and it's louder and much raspier. Ken's exhaust has a much cleaner sound. I'll try and get a video going through a tunnel
sounds awesome.Also, feel free to message me if anyone wants to hear it in person.

I should have some good clips soon as well. A much different sound with the ALH we have a CR too. Great sound as well but very different.

Here is a little sample. I'll do a better video soon with a full run from a dead stop. This system is 2.5" turbo back with one resonator no muffler. Soon I'll have the 3" system on which will have two resonators.. Of course I'll make a video of that system as well.

Just got the buzzken turbo back 3" straight pipe installed on the 2004 BEW. Besides 2 studs coming out of the turbo causing alignment issues, the exhaust itself fit nicely! I'd definitely say 3" is way overkill and the turbo is mad loud! Might need a resonator and have the pipe exit straight rather than towards the ground.

3" installed. Two resonators and a straight 4" chrome tip (GLI rear valence). Very mellow tone with subtle turbo spool/whistle. Very stealth and not likely to attract the wrong attention (my 2.5" was louder). I'll take some vids... I like it! (Zero drone)

What resonators did you use?

I purchased the system fully made by ken. I am not sure what resonators he uses but I am sure he can elaborate. I will say the system bolted up perfectly with no adjustments needed. I'll get a clip up this week.

The straight tip through/under the valence is a definite plus and I'm sure contributes to the lack of drone in the cabin.
