Interesting. I didn't think of that as an issue. You're right that it's 3 inches and that it doesn't taper.

I've done some google searches and found that about half say that it won't fit on the stock dp and half that will fit on the stock dp. If it doesn't end up fitting on the stock dp, I'll buy a downpipe, but that would also mean a tune, right? I've found posts that say I can use the stock donut gasket, others that say that they had to use a regular 3 inch gasket... I guess I'll have to wait and see when I go to install? It couldn't hurt to have both I suppose.
