They have 3" piping from the turbo and reduce to 2.5" where it hooks up to your exhaust. The old style is 2.5" all the way from the turbo. Also has a different swing valve housing that I think allows it to open further than the old ones. All that is supposed to help with the boost creep we get.

Plus the V-band connection will make for a good seal. The old set up used three bolts and the metal gasket was a PAIN to get to seal. I was always battling an exhaust leak at those connections.
