Well I didn't get finished installing it today, still more welding and fabricating. Although we now have a 4inch pipe welded to the back of the turbo which tapers down and slides over the downpipe, which was shortened to make it fit. Its all welded together so the downpipe and the turbo are one big piece. It does manage to fit in somehow if twisted correctly. Can't wait to get some pics!!

Yeah it looks cool too!! The 4 inch taper ends right as the downpipe makes its bend down going toward the midpipe. My apexi downpipe was actually 2.5 inches for a small section just as it left the turbo, then turned into 3inch.

Dan, I'm probably heading down to SC on Tuesday, since everyone here has to work. I have to drive thru Wilmington anyway, so when would be a good time to meet up with you?

Chris, would you be able to make it over to Dan's that afternoon/evening?

Hmm, well tuesdays and wednsdays are really bad for me. I'm in a bowling league both of those nights from 7pm till about 10pm. So i'd only be at my place for about 2 hours after work before I left again. Any other day i'm usually around here after about 5 or 6 whenever I get off work. What days does it look like you'll be in this area?

I'll only be passing through, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad to catch you for an hour or two. I have a lot to do in SC, unfortunately, so my schedule is rather tight. Maybe we can meet up again on my way back up, but then again, that will probably be the following Wednesday...

My hours are kinda flexible, could be 3:30 could be 6:30, but more than likely around 5:00. Will you be staying in Town for the night or just driving through? And if your driving through, which road will you be entering on?
