sourceautomotive.biz has them.... but you have to fab the 6" or so behind the turbo from your existing D/P.

I am not sure what stans does.....

I just got mine from here this past week. You can buy an adapter for whichever outlet your running off your turbo. I got a 4" v-clamp adapter with my pipe that slids inside the downpipe, cut and weld where needed. I'll try to get a picture up later.

Give www.stansheaders.com a call. Very nice setup. No cutting, welding, if's, and's, or but's. I've got their full system and its niiiice. But costly.

Yeah stans makes some good stuff but they are pricey. They are pretty close to me I have driven by their shop a few times.

Big truck shop like Republic Diesel has all the pipe and fittings. You just have to fab it up.

Now is that 4" in diameter from the start (right at turbocharger turbine housing) to the end? Some of the aftermarket companies sell a 3.5" downpipe, which I wouldn't waste my time with. It's awesome to be able to buy a larger exhaust system and have it start the bigger diameter right from the beginning of the system. I believe Stan's Headers has it this way and I'm going to try to go with his product as I don't find many problems with it except the price of the pipes being too much for just aluminized steel. If he charged just a little more then $475 for a stainless steel system then I wouldn't complain at all. I just think the original price for the aluminized system is slightly high.

It is 4" from one end to the other. I have a 4" v-clamp flange on one end.
