Why is the welds on the driver side down pipe so much different from the other side? Sort of looks bad, like it was bend in also.

We offer both Turbosmart and TiAl and they are both 38mm high quality wastegates. There is no disadvantage between either option. Turbosmart wastegate is a little smaller and makes packaging in the engine bay easier. One of the reasons of us offering another option is due to a longer lead time with TiAL products. Everything from TiAl has to be built whereas Turbosmart is on the shelf.

As for the different welds between the driver side and passenger side down pipes, every item on the kit from downpipes to intercooler piping is verifed on a jig for proper fitment. Sometimes, we have to do some adjustment before we ship them out to ensure proper fitment. By doing so, we do lose some of the "bling factor". Personally, I'd rather have a perfect fitting part than a shiny part that doesn't fit. That is what you are seeing in the picture. That said, it's a dump tube that no-one will ever see when you pop the hood.

I was leaning towards fitment anyways. Long as the smoke test passes I'm good. Just curious. I'll still take one.

I just wish it was a open dump on this car.
