Nice simple kit for a good price. Props on using the mild steel over the stainless. As well as the MIG welding. Stainless is over priced and over rated with a turbo system IMO. And who needs pretty TIG welds with 99.9% of the trucks. I haven't seen any trucks on here that were interested in entering into World of Wheels.
Mild steel is much cheaper and more durable with the heat.

I don't have and driving experience yet with his manifold, but I've been drooling over it for about a month now. 
Granted I haven't used it, but it's still a testament to Kyle's skill and attention to detail.
I love my manifold!

Hey guy's I though I would let you now that I have decided to become a board sponsor and sell my hot pipe kits! Here is what will be included. A base kit will have the cross over pipe made from 16 ga aluminized steel, a Turbo manifold built out of HEAVY schd 40 (3/16 thick) steel pipe and weldels, and a 3" aluminized steel down pipe. This base kit is going to be offered at a introductory price of $1500.
Upgrades to this will be a 3 1/2" aluminized steel down pipes for an additional $100.
Also a Tail, or equivalent waste gate and flanges can be added for an additional $300.
The base kit will not have provisions for a waste gate since there are too many different type and mounting possibility's. The down pipe will terminate just under the body and will need to have connections made to attach it you your tail pipes.
Here is some pictures of pipes I have built and how the system is laid out.
3 1/2 down pipe (cut out and waste gate are not included in the 3 1/2 down pipe or base price)
I will post some pics of the actual kit pipes in a few days
Let me know if you have any question about anything.

plenty of clearance. The manifold it a little close to the hose in one spot, but we just put a little header wrap on it and it's fine.
