    Not Pretty,but Hopefully Effective

    after many hours of hard labour,i ve finally finish my home made 3" downpipe.
    i had to TIG & MIG WELD,not easy and certainly not pretty.
    as you can see the conparison between the 3b OEM and my home made 3"DP.
    just need to decide whether to go full 3" exhaust system or not

          Did you not consider learning to weld before you tried this? Because what you've got there is certainly not welding

                To be fair if that its a first attempt then better than some people could do, myself included. Could be used as a template for a tidied up one later on.

                Full 3 inch system will be worthwhile for your setup if its rs2.

                      Function over fashion is always my thought

                      You could always get a disc on it and smooth it off/paint it/wrap it etc
