Dear Ilikebikes, I am poor thanks to you....

Well I finally got the nerve to do it. It is a lot easier and harder than it looks. I have found that you spend more time trying to get things in the right spot...I have to make up the support bracket and figure out the exhaust net. I just send the cold pipe to the powder coating. Im getting the "hammered" finish to hide all of the bad welds, but it should still look OK. Fun fun.... Still looking for the bht3b's oil fitting though.

There is a muffler wholesaler here that has the same prices as airflow but no shipping. I will probably cut it in half and run a reducer of it to squeeze it by without doing any cutting of the floorboards.

That's the fitting thats fit in my turbo. I'm doing a compound twin set but I'm mounting the ht3b to the side since my truck and auto and I didn't want to move the heat exchanger. Plus I like to see the big turbo out in the open

I had considered that arrangement. Its really only a little more piping but probably easier in the long run...
