Default Y-pipe merge advice????

Ok, I'm wanting to do a custom x sometime when I do my heads/cam setup

however in the mean time I'm looking into a nice merge for my current y-pipe





these are the only pictures of my under carriage, so0o what merges do u all recommend?

I BELIEVE my y pipe is a 3" all the way.. but i can't really tell.. maybe a 2.75" to a 3"

I'm considering a magnaflow merge

its under $30 bucks at summit and the flowmaster merge is $40 at jegs .. but i cant find a 3" in and 3" out

If you're going to go with a custom X later on, then I say, leave it alone, and don't spend any more money on it.

yeah but its gonna be a ways off, and rowdy wants an arm and a leg for a custom x.. for a 20 weld in piece the gain is similar to a custom x, from what i understand
