So lets say a greddy TiC Dual wouldn't work with this kit?

ok, nevermind. I see in the pic that the other pipe is smaller and must be for a wastegate or something. It just looked like another down pipe. I wasnt sure how it worked. Thanks.

Maybe if you got a reverse y-pipe made, but that would be kind of redundant IMO

I'm surew an experienced shop can modify the wastegate dump pipe, and the end of teh downpipe to mate with a true dual. Nothing a good old welder couldn't fix!

yeah reverse Y pipes are pretty darn cheap to make. If you have already a true dual, then its quicker to jsut get a reverse Y, otherwise better to run something like a JIC Ti IMO

Ya I already have the 70mm Tru Dual TiC so I have no plans on removing it. I bought it for when I go FI soon. My room mate can probably fab up a reverse Y then I'm pretty sure.

yeah you are fine... just size properly the 'reverse y" and you got an exhaut that can flow really good

Default reverse y

FYI these flow and work well for making a reverse y.

The TQ curve is awesome, doesnt drop off like most kits. Good stuff. We'll hopefully catch up sooner than later.

its in the chart
I mean, he has 350 ft lbs at 3000 RPM so i'd say that's a good indicator of where full boost comes on at

anytime the torque curve starts to fall as long as the hp takes over then it is a good thing. Your car is making awsome power especially torque. I am jealous.

Geat looking TQ curve.

So in the pic with your front facia removed on the dyno, i note the bumper brace missing.

Did you have issues fitting it back-on over the FMIC? ,just decide to leave it off?

There's minor trimming involved with it, I trimmed to fit the I/C when it was sitting flush with the rad support, however once the I/C was installed it sat a bit too far forward, so I have to get around to trimming about 1/2" more off of it.

I'll put it back on, just a matter of getting around to it.
