Looks nice.. but why the need to have the pipes welded together like that? On the turbos that's a very bad idea in terms of the heat expansion and motor movement.. That's going to break at some point due to that

It's welded together because its an X pipe.Our ECU guy designed the system and so far never had a problem.

I'd still like to see some flex piping to give it some play like FVD does or just a slightly different design similair to Europipe...

This system hasbeen used for the last two years both in racing and everyday use by Manthey and there customers at the Nurbugring and around Europe. I think if there was going to be problems we would have seen it by now.
I believe the PSI & Cragraphic systems all have top merit this is just another take on how to do it. This system has a long positve pedigree in Europe.

Sharkey is right about possible cracks or breakage. But the boys at Manthey were quite happy from testing the original prototype exhaust system at Hockinheim and Nurburgring circuits. Herr Manthey there after approved the exhaust to be built by his exhaust supplier. As you see on Bill's GT3, the exhaust system is well built. Just like the CG system.
