As Craig said but if you are going to do it get yourself a straight through 3" then it'll be worth doing

I had Blitz Nur Spec on my VIII, it sat perfect and looked and sounded 8) 8) 8) 8)

Kurgen now owns the car, he might have some pics mate.

Your Turbo elbow is only 2 1/4" in Dia, this is where your gains can be found.
Change the elbow for a magnex modular down pipe then you will have a true 3" system, not 2 1/4" to 3"
