Still, about the 2", why did you angle it opposite to what looks like would've been more free flowing? I've seen many y-pipes redone and cars make more power on a dyno just by smoothing out the merge. Your merge is backwards to what is conventional. Is there a reason?

Since you mentioned my future hate post about a 4" turbine:

Why didn't you just go twin scroll instead?

The 2" down pipe is routed this way because of radiator hoses both top and bottom are in the way and the fan etc.

Also I'm not to concern about loss of HP with the odd configuration. It only has to make 50HP when its ran in a street mode(4" up pipe capped).

The reason I didn't go with a twin scroll turbo is one price, I have three HE 351CW turbos and all of them where given to me for free and also this turbo has been proven to make the power to run mid 10's @ over a 135mph with this engine.

Also this car looks and sounds completely stock when I'm running through the stock exhaust system with the uncut hood.
