Good luck on the build... As for exhaust, I really like when exhaust comes out in front of the back wheel, i feel like it is a more aggressive look. Do you want it real loud? Considering getting a cut out so you can have best of both worlds?

Run your exhaust to come out in front of the front passenger tire!!

Glad to see your making the move, not unexpected really, but happy to see you reaching for new goals!

Any good passes I make will be made launching on turbo only, so the twincharger aspect wouldn't even come into play at the track. It's really just a driveability bonus, having instant boost, but being able to use a big turbo thats got low backpressure and still spools well.

If I do that I'd definitely want to use a rectangular exhaust tip. 4" exhaust is a lot to just shove up by the body lol. I don't want it loud, really. Right now my WG is vented to atmosphere so when that opens up its ear piercing. Everyone I race with says they're pretty much bleeding from the ears by the time I let off After listening to my truck at WOT, full boost, and then just hearing whistle only....I like the whistle.

No updates really, still waiting on parts.




That's what I've got so far. Plus a stick of 4" pipe for exhaust and a bend or two. Still have a bunch of 3" and mandrel bends from the cold pipe setup for the rear mount, so I'll be using that to fab up the new cold side.
