is the flexpipe necessary?
I ended up finding some good ones on Ebay for like $25.

now this is only going on my experience, yours is prolly different.
to stay on topic, go w/ the flexpipe or ball gaskets!

hmm thats werid, it usually works the other way around. Everytime I've ever ran open DP it usually increases spool time.
I also 2nd the open DP, its really not that loud on a honda/acura 4 cylinder.

Backpressure on a turbo is bad. The best exhaust for a turbo is no exhaust. Actually if you could hook up a vacuum cleaner to your exhaust it would be the best.
