thanks guys. as for working fast i kind of have to. it seems that i lose alot of sleep lying in bed trying to mentally layout and over come all the obstacles. if i dont roll up my sleeves and get out there and do it i dont sleep....also my girlfriend doesnt like to be on the back burner

as for engine flex...that is the biggest reason why i wanted to go with a turbo mounted to the passenger side head. that way all the piping would simply flex with the motor. we will see if the flex couplers are up to the task. like i mentioned earlier, when i redo the piping from the manifolds to the turbos...and i will have to redo it because when i ordered the mandrels i made sure to ordered the thick 18 gauge...i didnt want that whimpy 16 gauge stuff for my turbo build. then one night lying in bed (after i had ordered, received and cut up the tubing) i realized that i had it backwards. lol probably misordered it due to lack of sleep.

anyways, my new and improved plan (which i figured out at like 2 in the morning) is to have the drivers side come across like it does and then have the passenger side dump right into it where it currently intersects it and into a single 3.5 inch pipe and a larger 3.5 inch flex pipe right before it enters the turbo.

who knows..maybe when the motor is flexing because im hard into the boost the 18 gauge tubing may be glowing so hot it will be flexible


i ll keep you guys posted with more pics of the rest of the exhaust (even though it will be kind of a hack job)
