yes you could get 3 inch but 2.5 would be better for you since your NT. even after you go turbo 2.5 is still good until you get a 16g or bigger

120 sounds great to me for an exhaust, last exhaust i had installed was a dual-exhaust flowmaster on my 68 stang and it was a good $450 and thats with a hook up cuz i know the guy, but id still shop around if i were you, never know you might find someone cheaper and save some money for a turbo : )

i almost bought a pipe bender from Harbor Freight. it a manual one, but it bends pipes from .5 through 3 inches. if i had a welder i would had.

I paid $160 for mine 2.5 cat back and it wasn't madrel bent. Even if your's isnt madrel bent, its a good deal i beleive cause when i searched around. Most shops wanted around 220ish.

any 3in press bend is better then a 2.5in mandrell. so if you can find somone who can get you a 3in cat-back for 160-200 buy it!! let alone $120
