I think because the new pipe is in the foreground it exaggerates the perspective of how big it is. After it's installed you'll get a better idea of its size.

So far everything I have done is within the boundaries of acceptance for maintaining the warranty...as far as Suncoast is concerned.

Having said that, I cannot do anything to any moving part integral to the engine, i.e. VTG's. I have to keep finding different ways to add some more grunt.

I was at 524 whp/590 wtq before the new IC's and y-pipe so it will be interesting to see what more I can scrounge with these changes. And the boost is still no more than 17-18psi tops.

It came out great! The release of this product is all your feedback I hope it fits. Mandrel bends look excellent. Post a pic once installed..

The bends are perfect. It has such an even flow to it, no pinched spots.

I did notice that the mounting point is directly on top of your pipe rather than off to the side as on the stock pipe. Was that for reasons of space or just easier to build?

All in all, a damn nice job and I can't wait to see that beauty in the car.

You mean for the sensor... I am not sure it will matter, but I think for building it. Again normally we like to build and test here, just had no car. So if we need to take care of anything, we will for ya!

No sorry Dan. I had an unexpected trip out of town this week and my guy at Suncoast was in class all last week so the pipe and hoses still are not installed.

I am getting back late Thursday so I am hoping I can get time on Friday and have it done.
