3". The 3.5"system is heavier with mufflers and 4" resonator tube after the turbos.

i would assume all of the x systems without mufflers will be of similar weight...

This is made from superior stainless which has better strength at temperatures where exhaust operates. For this reason it can be made thinner, and lighter. I would estimate the same system in 304 to weigh at least 16lbs, most will weigh about 20-22lbs with a similar design.
This material is great for exhaust, Inconel is about the only thing much better.

Sorry, missed this. The same guy that did a few other custom systems on here. He is making my 3.5" exhaust, should be done tomorrow.

It looks like you contact a company called Unobtanium Welding. Looks like they're in Canada, though - not sure how that complicates it for someone to get their hands on one in the U.S., but I'm sure it does...

Yeah, it will be loud, not for everybody. I got 2 mufflers put in mine for a reason. Should make it bearable.

I have a custom one that is almost identical to this. In my opinion its droney but once you go WOT it sounds awesome. The market is getting flooded with these exhausts. Maybe china will start producing them and we can get them for ~ $600
