Reducing Reducers?

[wally426ci]

So, id like to get a set of Dougs Headers, but they come with 3" collectors. Does anyone see a problem with reducing collectors from 3" to 2.5"

Just do it smoothly. Going from a 3" directly to 2.5" will kill flow. I think summit sells some smooth tapered reducers.

WaLLY, I used the dougs adapters and they were perfect for my 2.5's.    They come with the headers.

Interesting... 

Goody, i havent checked that link, but i was affraid that the summit ones would be like pot metal and that would be a weak point between the headers and my stainless exhaust ?

Could be, depends on how serious you are on building a good exhaust

would these stainless reducers work for ya ?

Bullit, those may work, but they look like standard collectors so not sure.

Goody, those looke nice. Im thinking the exhaust shop would also have material around that they could use in order to match the stainless to stainless ? 

Thanks Guys!
