3" exhaust piping???
yes but it specifies for the G5 or Ion. Im guessing its different than the SS/TC. They took the time to specify that the 2 bolt flange for the cobalt won't work for the SS/TC so im going to assume that the 3 bolt flanges don't work otherwise they woulda made a note of it..... could be wrong though
No flange??? what about the 3 bolt flange that connects to the downpipe???
I'll be back early in the morning to bend parts and I will be doing some 3" for the Cobalt next week. I'll take some time and price out just the tubing for you guys; no hangers, no flanges, no tip, resonator or muffler. It will be apples to apples comparison of that other site, who isn't a vendor here. 
Feel free to PM me and remind me tomorrow. It's going to be a busy day and I tend to get stuck in the shop these days.
Thanks.

That's what I was thinking too, LOL. That and I am for sure gonna be getting a catless 3" DP, so I want it to connect to that too.

OK, I took at look at the other site and what they are offering for $195.00. We can match the price but can not include clamps. For that price they, and I, are making very little but if you all are going to order it, I would rather take care of yoiu all then to have you go to a non-supporting vendor. You will be building your own system anyways once you choose the muffler and tip so theclamps wont matter, just have the tubing welded at the time of install. Also, we will provide the tubing as a resonator and muffler delete. It will be long enough to install and run as is.
So, if interested, let me know. I can make a thread in the vendors section. I would like to see at least 5 orders to make it worthwhile.
Thanks guys.

Not really. Out of the 4 cars that I put an exhaust system on, I have never used Stainless Steel ever, I always use the aluminized steel and it has never rusted ever and I have never had any problems with it.
Exiting where? In front of tire or behind?
Straight pipes are exactly what we are offering; read above posts. And we are designing a 3" down-pipe with high flow converter this coming Friday.

So basically if ClearImageAuto comes out with this 3" system, it's gonna be 3" mandrel bent and will be able to bolt right up to the stock DP and will also be able to bolt on to an aftermarket 3" DP. So basically just a replica of the one on mandrelexhaustsystems.com, except he is a vendor here, will be cheaper and will have a 3 bolt flange if need be.

I think there will be a difference. The one on mandrelexhaustsystems.com to me comes with enough pipe that u prob. won't have to cut much out when u add a muffler. So if u took that system and wanted to throw it in with no muffler, u would prob. be upset to see it end well before the exhaust cutout in the rear fascia. Thats my guess. For clear images exhaust system, i believe it gonna be a complete bolt on system that will be able to just throw on a tip and go.
The system we will be installing and dyn testing Friday will have a resonator and muffler. But what I proposed above will not. And yes, the factory 3-bolt flange will be available. We'll have some options for you guys.
"Straight pipe". The entire tubing kit will be a straight pipe. Or are you talking about the down-pipe? If so, yes, our 3" down-pipe will be available without the hi-flow converter.
Thanks again everyone.
