Re:cost of downpipe
the best price in down pipe fabbibg will be found if you can find someone that does that type of thing for money on the side or someone that'll go to your house with their welder and do it on site. don't take your car to meinakee and expect for them to make a downpipe for $40.

haha, my first one had those angles on it. I'm sure it was decreasing flow because I had all kinds of welding wire stuck in there and everything. All I had to cut the angles with was an angle grinder :P. But I suppose it you do it cleanly and correct, you won't have that much disturbance in flow.

I don't think my bends decrease flow at all. If you clean the bends than there's nothing for the gases to swirl on and therefore there is no loss in performance. And plus, its a 3.5 inch downpipe on a D-series motor, the sizing alone is over kill.
Here's a pic of the inside, judge for yourself if you think it wouldn't flow smooth:

im going to go up there tommoro with my car and see how much they would charge me for just the 2.5 piece not including the wastegate piece. If its fairly cheap, which it should be ill get them to do that. then just weld a piece for the wastegate
