Yea, the open WG takes some getting used to , but man it sounds pretty good.

I love punching it and from ~4000 rpm to redline hearing that wastegate scream.. Loving the power from the single too

easier to make.

con(s):

It really makes a mess in your engine bay, black soot everywhere not to mention the possibility of fire...?

I have mine dumped, it aims down and over so the engine bay stays clean. the passenger side frame rail though, probably already needs a cleaning
