Are these meant to fit a standard downpipe or can they be mated to a 3" catback?

Looks like it goes smaller towards the end.

Yes I'm definitely a bargain hunter! Ha, I'm running stage 2 parts since the stage 1 remap no problems at all, just the cel light on.
Waiting to find an autotech hpfp for the right price before I go ahead with another remap.

Looking forward to see an update on your thread! You are not running an intercooler yet are you? I'm after one at the moment aswell but I'm like yourself and would like to find a bargain! How would u describe the lo springs, looks awesome but what's the ride like??  :happy2:

I'm after an intercooler too just waiting for the right one!
The lo springs are spot on for the money, the ride is just as you'd expect from any lowering springs just potholes need to be avoided!!
I've had allsorts of different lowering springs on different cars and they seem to be near enough the same.
I had tein springs on my previous e46 m3 not much in them.

Have you swapped your wheels yet mate? I quite like the ones you had on.

They are still on the car unfortunately, but iv got bbs monzas that are getting referbed!! So if you had the choice again u would buy the lo springs over the H&Rs or eibachs?
