Don't know just started to build this. the pipe ID is 1.5" OD is 1.9"
Still have to pull the old exhaust off and get the turbo (on back order) so I can mock it up.
Also I don't know if I will go top mount.... you guys get vary close to the MC... I think I'm going to do a bottom mount or move the turbo more up front and still top mount it...

Looks pretty good. Welds are really clean. That looks like you're going to have a rough time getting the angle of the runners right. Maybe not.

Dont know its like full-race or lavefab style... they all spit out away from each other, but you need that space to weld all around.
I just made a short runner one 3" i might make a long runner one too 5-6" see what works. Im just kind of fooling around.
here is a full-race one

It should turn out ok, we will see.
I have been TIG welding for just under a year, but I know a some guys that have been doing it for years and years. So if I need a hand I can call them up. I might need a micro torch to do this thing (300$ + 700$ for a water cooler setup)
. We will see how tight some of the spots get.

looks good, i wish i could weld like that.
are you planning on port matching the flange a bit more? those are looking pretty round.

Yes im going to box it out at the edge of the flange to match the ports. and the other end is the same size as the pipe

Thanks, Cool I was a bit worried about that turbo at first but now I think I made the right choice.
