Is there an off the shelf 3 inch exhaust system available for our 850's? I have a 3 inch downpipe and 2.5inch cat back (with cat delete...) but would like to upgrade to a full 3 inch.

Thanks.

Not that I know of, but I want to ask. Why? Are you running a turbo what really requires a FULL 3" turboback?

This^^^
A 3" turboback on our TD04 turbo'ed motors is overkill (for 99% of us). Also, without careful exhaust planning it'll drone like crazy.
To answer your question though ... I don't believe there's a full 3" aftermarket option. You'd likely have to piece together your own setup and/or have an exhaust shop build it for you. Stick with what you've got.
