I went by Rainbow muffler earlier today and they can't mess with 3" piping. The guy said the piping is too large for them to flare :???:
Looking for a shop that can handle the task and at the same time weld the aluminized kteller kit.
The set-up:
DTR header > kteller 3" piping kit > Vibrant 18" resonator > Vibrant 3" stealth muffler
Some pics of the system:

I took the header (piece that connects to exhaust) off and it's 2.5" diameter as seen here:

Thin gasket not quite large enough to mate with the DTR header:

kteller flange also not quite large enough:
