In my opinion, Stebro needs to make improvements in the diameters of their exhaust.  Namely, offer some 
3" systems!

I thought their stuff was almost stock diameter, particularly the 5kcstq stuff.  I also thought someone said 
the  backpressure wasn't reduced all that much.  Does anyone have any info in this area.  I'd like to be 
able to justify replacing a totally intact stock exhaust, for performance (and fuel economy and appearance 
and sound, but mostly for POWER).

Just sell me the pipes! :-P  
I'll put my own muffler of choice on (probably Borla).

On a related note, I emailed 2Bennett about their stainless 3" catback for turbo 4kq's, asking for the price. 
 I haven't heard back, but I'm thinking it's up there around $1.5k.  Is that about right?  <choke>

I'll probably blow the dust off the ole' mig welder and try to fit myself up a catback using separate pieces.  
Someday I'll give it a shot.

Later,
