Buy 2 bends. Get a flange (you probably already have one). Flex pipe for 25-30bux. Mark and cut the bends to fit your set up. Take it to a muffler shop and have it welded up for like 20. and like $4-5 bucks for a flange. and you'll have a better looking. much cheaper. and Guaranteed to fit cause you mocked it up yourself.

Ok, I can get the DP plus a Car Sound cat and another $10 part for $160 shipped.
The DP/Cat was made for an EJ8 with a D16Y8 with a greddy cast manifold, and T28.
My setup is the same except it's a T25. What are the chances that it's not gonna fit?
I know we're all about DIY which is y i'm doing all the assembling and tuning. But fabbing is > me.

I do tend to convince myself. But I usually hope that someone can convince me otherwise. I've had > $1k in parts sitting around for over 6 months. I want my car makin whistly sounds already.
If I knew someone local that fabbed or knew anything about turbo's I'd learn to fab and weld. But down here everyone finds ways to get money and pays shops to do everything. Unfortunately I don't have space to have/use fabbing/welding equipment.
