IF you want better airflow, then a 3" turbo back will do the job, i would also consider uprating your headers to GT spec which will unleash more power and also help everything in your engine to breath better

I'd also like to know how this is done on my EJ257 please, if you'd care to elaborate on your 2 knowledgable posts so far I believe we'd all benefit from your non-forum based knowledge please
