well here it is. It sounds amazing! You can hear the turbo spin at idle and can hear it spin up through the exhaust when you get on the gas.

I had to mod my existing downpipe to put the v-band flange on the back. It previously stepped down to 2.5 at the tail to a 2.5 exhaust.

The downpipe mod was easy, only in and out of the car 2 times, once for tacking the first peice then again for the v-band elbow section at the end. then I finish welded it and bolted it back in.
Next was the wastegate tube. It's tough to make a pipe that fits exactly between to immovable flanges. You kinda just have to work from both sides and pray they meet in the middle.

Rollertoaster do you still have your OEM exhaust? I was wondering if you can cut the part that bolts to the header and like 5 inches, and sell me that... Im basically looking for the connecting piece that bolts to the header and a little bit of piping

Yeah I think I still have that piece, I'll look around and let you know. That's about all that remains of my stock exhaust.

very impresive bud, I forgot you had an auto, I bet a 5 spd conversion would be worth every penny!!

It would but, I haven't had a single problem with the auto. It still shifts great and the fluid is clean every time I change it.

I think I know where it is, I'll try to dig it up tomorrow.

Anthony, here's a couple more pics.

I little project I'm working on. this is a posterboard template of an air diffuser for the intercooler. It will be 6000 Al mounted to the hood with a seal between it and the intercooler.

Looks awesome Casey! You should put a puller fan on the bottom of the IC too, have some airflow at a standstill. Splice it into your rad fans, and voila! Now you are about ready to rally...:grin:

there isn't enough room under the IC for a fan. I bought a really slim one and ended up never using it. I finished making the parts for the air shroud this afternoon. I still need to weld it and seal the area though.

Looks awesome. Don't forget to throw in a shot with the hood closed when you get finished.

fatfurious, I have that piece from the flange to the o2 sensor bung, it also has another bung welded in for a wideband, and the heat sheilding is still on. I'll get a box so I can give you a price for shipping
