This detail shows my heater hose relative to the dump pipes. There's at least an inch+ clearance there, and the hose is secured with clamps so it won't hit the pipes, but I think I'll be replacing that heater hose section with some aluminum piping.

Here's the 2-into-1 "Y" from the waste gates. Note that the diameter of the outlet is still the same size as the dump tubes, NOT a larger diameter pipe.

That silver matting on the top is the Noiko sound insulation. It's a rubbery self-adhesive substance, you just apply and use a roller to flatten it down
