IF your friend is selling it to you for $100 bux.... take it... this is one of the dp that'll clear ACD and the lower arm bar without any spacers/problems free....

It clears the ACD very nicely with no spacers, doesn't clunk, and uses factory hangers, it is a really good downpipe and enough for stock turbo (2.75 inches)

i dont know why people say its 2.75 inches as tanabe states the whole exhaust is 80mm. so thats a little bigger than 3 inch? 3.14 to be exact
