Well, it will be a two piece down pipe. One will bolt up to the turbo (obviously), and the other will be made to bolt up to the F.I exhaust. I could send out the kit with only the first section that bolts up to the turbo, and any competent exhaust shop can fabricate the short 20" transition piece from a single 3" pipe to whatever exhaust you happen to have.

Just a thought.

With the Berk exhaust posted above, I would cut (prependicular to flow) the X section of the pipe right in the middle, flatten a 3" piece of tubing in to an oval and weld it to the X section. that is very easy and I have done it before.

Ha, look at that I even have a picutre of it:

Why not design an all around kit that will fit the OEM exhaust setup. Then design your own exhaust on top of it? Or give buyers to buy the mid-pipe + short tail from a different source.

I think AAM designs a short tail and a few other companies make the mid pipes.

One size does not fit all. So for every exhaust system I would have to build a different mid-pope...just not goin to happen.

I will stick with the F.I down pipe, and will make the one to bolt up to the OEM exhaust...it won't hurt to have around just in case.
