Chase, the 3" pvc dwv coupling fit just right, there is a little bump on one end of the coupling that needs to be ground down to make it smooth. They are cheap to buy.

It's a shame some of y'all have to use a 3" reducer, you're cutting down 25% of the flow doing that.

Okay, now I smell what you're stepping in Rick- you used a straight coupler for 3" pipe in order to get the 4" OD needed... wish I had thought of that while I was in town yesterday! I'm going to call a local tire shop today to see if they have any 4" tubing laying around, if not my exhaust will be here today hopefully and I should have some leftovers. Hopefully my gauges will be here today or tomorrow too

The outside of the 3" coupling is 4".

Try an interesting experiment. Get 2 one inch water hoses, say 10 feet long. cut one in half and put in a 3/4 inch 6" long piece of copper. then get a 5 gallon jug and see which one fills up faster. You'll be amazed at the results. I learned this from my street racing days when dealing with exhaust diameter's.

I understand what you are saying Mark. Look at where the intake hose goes into the turbo. It is smaller then 4". I don't think my engine is starving for air.
