"Sorry, you can't upgrade to a 3" downpipe..."
Just make your own dp.
obviously you have a 5bolt turbine housing.
all they'd probably have to do is cut off the flanges and weld on a new flange, depending on placement.
either way, it's not difficult making the dp..
bolt up the flange,
get some straights and mandrels and get to work.
hell, if you don't have money for mandrels, just make pie cuts.
if you don't have a welder yourself, you could just mock it up, make sure it fits to your liking and take it to a muffler shop to get it welded mig or tig.
or if you dont think you can do that, just take it to the shop and have them fab you one. probably gonna be ~$200.

Not sure why your mad about it, seems pretty simple. Just go to a trusted muffler shop and see what they can do. I had to adapt my inline pro (total crap dp) to work with my UR exhaust (awesome), it was a considerable amount of work on the DP in question and they had to fix a couple of the bolts/studs as previous retard managed to jack them royally. All this was under $200. So go knock yourself out.
My InlinePro's-based downpipe is a 5-bolt. Yes, you have to use those allenheads. They hold good, but hard to tighten without thin hands and extensions and flex extensions, etc.
And the flange's opening is about 2.5", mated to the 3" downpipe. That's how it is, since turbo's exhaust side isn't bigger than 2.5" anyway.

As I said earlier
atp turbo has this already, you just need to go buy it. Here is the link, so now you have no excuses why you cant run a 3 in downpipe.

or since you are using an internal wastegate you should use this one

Trace your flange and send it to weirtech. He'll cut you one for $25 and can make you a balln' down pipe if you want. The man is a TIG master. He's also got a crx with a f20 swap!
odds are it is a standard t3 5 bolt outlet. if you let me know your location, i will probably be able to recommend a reputable shop not too far from you that can probably help you out. i couldn't do it myself because i don't have your particular setup at my disposal to ensure proper fitment, but i do associate with a lot of fabrication shops in the US that all do very good work. pm me if you like and i'd be more than happy to recommend someone local to you.
a 3" pipe is doable on a 5 bolt outlet flange... i just upgraded a 2.5" to 3" on a setup that is on a prelude with a 5 bolt outlet. i'll have to post up some comparison pics.
as for the crx2000, i'll have to post up a build thread, but i'm not sure how well recieved it will be since it really isn't an s2k, just the drivetrain.
