that's all beautifully made Elliot, i can't wait to get it!!

i think having the reducer and midpipe flange separate from the downpipe is going to work out perfectly. i can fiddle and tweak and make sure it's all mated up perfect to the aftermarket exhaust. and judging by the part of the downpipe that is fabbed now compared to the old downpipe i pulled off, i should have enough room to put a 3.5" flex pipe in before the reducer.

i can't quite see for sure in the pictures, is there an o2 bung on the downpipe?

Ha ha yeah man, that turbo is beautiful. It's as big as my big fat head lol

I saved for a long long time and worked ridiculous amounts of overtime for this. I'm so happy
