^^^ nice, are you a welder? or are you getting it welded up?

I will be doing the fabricating and welding because I'm a journeyman Level "A" welder and certified welding inspector/ndt tech.

The Tial wastegates,box of random parts and a couple stainless elbows should be here in 3 weeks. I'm going to start cutting up and welding the exhaust pipe first, so to answer your question it should be ready in about a month.

I also need to repo my datalogit back so I can throw in the mafs and injectors

ill pull it out tommarow.. gimme a call.

Are you building in a jig ? based on current piping ? or are you going to do it from underneath/fresh on the car ?

I'm just going to copy the angles on my Arc exhaust except at the muffler. I'm going to use a 4" IDx 12" length Burns Stainless coming out facing the left rear tire at a slight angle so it straightens the exhaust a bit.
I'm going to make a silencer bung for it as well because the Arc bung drops a lot of decibels off just in case the sound police come out at AutoX and to keep the neighbors happy when I warm up my car before work at 6:00 A.M.

if you ever go passed a deal like that again for ti, shot me a PM please

oh sorry my bad, forgot to say what turbo i have, its a Garrett GT47-88.(the outlet is 5") so going 4" could be kind of restrictive.

gotta note the turbo is powered by a strocked 351/432 winsdor.

Wow!
