Default Divorced Downpipes on a GReddy kit - Anyone done it?

Hey all,
I was researching and was wondering if anyone has had custom downpipes made with divorced wastegate ports? I'd be considering doing this myself with my Z when I install mine. I plan on doing a 3in dp as well for each.
Thanks

Divorced downpipes are only used on internally gated turbos. By divorced, if you are refering to dump tubes, then yes, there are some on the market, and they sound nice and wicked! http://www.forgedinternals.com/store...7&cat=0&page=1
These are actually 3 inch downpipes/test pipes, with dump tubes.

I havent seen the dumps from SVT yet. Clearance is really tight. Maybe I can check out your car, MP, next time you're in town.

Ryan, I am all over that EU. Looks like I'll be getting some replacement units, since my guy owes me 3 of them now. Thanks for being patient.

I had a fun time figuring out which side was which. Took me a good 10 minutes squinting with pictures. It looks nice. I'll let you know how it sounds tomorrow. My car is finally ALIVE!

the guy who built the jigs did not mark left or right on the jigs, so the first few kits went out without markings, lol. had to pull them back off my car to figure which was which. they are marked left and right now to make it much easier.
