are you sure your Apexi system is 3 inch at the downpipe/centre join.
If you have a standard cat pipe on at the moment then it will be 2 1/2 inch where it fits to the centre section.
The majority of decat downpipes are 3 inch then stepping down to 2 1/2 inch at the join.
Open kneck is best, something like a Scoobyworld Ninja, Hayward and Scott, revolution.
Magnex are OK but the twin dump system they use can cause rubbing on the gearbox and there was talk of boost issues (although not witnessed them myself).

If you really need 3" at the centre flange, H&S do one.
As regards open neck / twindump, do a search, general concensus is open neck is the way to go.
