Which 3 inch exhaust?
 

Looking to upgrade from a 2.5 inch to 3 inch. Want something that is not to noisy but does show off the rumble/burble. Also want a straigh exit pipe at the rear (ie, not angled). What are the good options to go for these days?

For value for money, I'd go for this Cobra item - £175 for back box with 3" inlet...

I have the full 3"-inch version of this system (inc. 3" centre) but my tailpipe is a 4" rolled-in - looks like a 22B's OEM item. Also, the lack of a large ugly oval back box looks oh so cool. The tailpipe really does exit the bumper straight too.

These full systems sold on eBay i.e. where I got mine from (I won it for £103!!!). I'll try to dig out a link for you later (and every now and again they offer the back box with the rolled-in tail, like mine).

You might think that the relative 'lack' of a back box' might make it too loud, but not so. It releases the flat-four's # dugga dugga # without it being stupidly loud - it DOES sound fantastic from outside!...

...Or there's this one... which does have the rolld-in tail and a modest oval back box - this does look very similar to the v.3>on STi / RB5 / P1 / 22B, for an authentic OEM pattina...

Revolution is what I'd go for if I was to get rid of my Nur Spec. ;)

Not saying they are better or worse than any other system, but they are 3" which is what you are after.

The TSL Group N (relatively quiet) sounds good on a full 3" decat turbo back system.

There is also the TSL Firestorm backbox/system that is much louder but not quite the loudest out there. Mine has quietened down considerably now it's sooted up a bit.

Here is my old scooby with a 3inch full decat from Revolution on the rollers at Scoobyclinic:
