Does it have a flex joint? Best location would be under center of the crankshaft where movement is more rotation VS rotation and displacement.
Just so others know, includes a low restriction CAT - right?
I found the bigger pipe left little room to install and tighten the 3 nuts to the turbo studs. I had to grind down the back shoulder and taper a 13mm/1/2" socket to get the job done. And the lower one cannot take a socket. So thats an issue to eval.
And the far end needs another flex joint or perhaps a spherical exhaust joint. Otherwise the system is intolerant of manufacturing variations. Perhaps no problem for an muffler man, but a pain for DIY. I also wished that pipes were jigged and marked after bending as the stretch can leave the final length indeterminant. Perhaps more of an issue for an end to end system.
I am glad that I did the 3" turbo back. With no ECU changes (yet), there is a lot more power.
Sounds great!
