i really like it! looks great! But Im a little confusedd at the last section where the larger pipe from the TB connects? what the heck is going on there??

I would also paint the pipes. even if its the same colour as they are now. That alumanized piping will rust FAST! last thing you want is a piece of rust falling off into the intake tube and being sucked into your engine.

yah, most people use SS mandrels so they dont have to worry.. but exhaust piping dont last long. Plus it will look better 6 mo from now. colour match it to your car? cant hurrt to have a little show w/ the go.

buy some black high temp paint and give it a fat dose... but it looks good.... and at 10 bucks you cant be that with a stick.... mother ------- shops around here charge an arm and a leg for anythign custom. I bought 2.5in pipe and found some 90* elbows in the trash can so im just getting 2 j pipes bent for the downpipe and the throttle body connect.

wish i could have just ordered one from you... but it probably would have come out the same price, after shipping and what have you.... but looks good.
