The tsp lts are 3" comin out the collector so that rulles out all the necked down kits
Having a muffler doesn't mean it isn't a straight through design so I'm not sure you're clear on what you're looking for.

that is accurate, I just dont understand guys buying a 3" catback when all they have is headers and CAI... the 2.5" is fine for what they are running

I think Stainless Works may sell those straight 3" connection pipes. They call it their "Performance Connect" system
Dam ty blazzin lol i completely overlooked that i assumed they where 3" because i was looking at SW and the were like u said 3" not necked down

Camper im on a mission sir an N/A mission and ive set the mark very very high flow=hp. It will be impressive for sure especially for an a6. My approach is taking the best of the best and doing it better. The exhaust is just what i wanted and was hoping too find a manufacturer that was ready making it. Btw who does have the highest know hp N/A L99?

You can get a 3 inch catless connection from tsp also. I did to connect to a 3 inch cat back. Just have to ask for it instead of the 3x2.5

I have the Maganflow 3" comp center exit. I think I'm the only one who has it. It sounds cool, but it's hella loud. I'm actually looking to switch pretty soon.

I will be running the TSP 2" lts w off road connections. I am very aware of how loud it will be i also am planning on running 5"tips or dual 4" tips

OP, the Dynomax Bullet catback is 3" AFTER the connection point for stock cats too...on my car, I took my Kooks cats and Dynomax exhaust, and cut out the 2.5" pipe and welded in 3" pipe...so I'm 3" all the way off the headers.

I just bought a Dynomax 3" dual muffler (internal X) to replace my X pipe...might take a little fab work to make it fit, but the car is just retardedly loud right now, and I want/need to correct that. Finishing up the suspension/brakes over the next few weekends, then I'll get the exhaust done before I take the car back out of the garage for the spring.

Do you have any video of your car with the VT's? If this X muffler doesn't quiet it down enough, those or ultraflows where the bullets are now is my next plan.

But to fully answer your question...LG is the only setup I know that is completely 3" from the headers all the way back, without cutting/welding like I did. But you'd need their headers too.
