ill tell u wat i was told lol "do not NOT NOT NOT buy that ebay crap!" lol now the downpipe i think alot of ppl get it off of ebay which is ok but i was told that the manifold is basiacally crap lol soo u can get the downpipe but not the manifold. jus type in 3sgte down pipe on ebay and they will pop up.
ALSO.. im goin to b buyin the same pipe too soon for my 3sgte too (im swappping) and ive tried to take the stock dp off and its a pain in the but, i leanred that u will have to remove the alternator, a/c pump and oil cooler but in the end its worth it.

the ebay manifolds are junk.
the DP's kinda work, but typicly need grinding on the flange around where the flapper door for the wastegate is and are not gen 3 specific (you will need to remove 1 stud from the turbo housing the bolt the DP on.)
the better alternative is this part from berk technology:

IMO its the best ct based downpipe on the market, by far.
