My buildup progress

Im still in the stock pile phase. Heres a quick look at my exhaust combobulation being put together by 1revvin7. GT35R, manifold from www.turblown.net , wastegate, and downpipe. This is only test fitting, no installation yet, I got 3 more months till im back in country to actually tackle this monster.



Manifold/wastegate


gt35r+manifold

wastegate discharge


Other parts include, microtech lt10s, 780/1600 combo, fd uim, s5 motor, and plenty of other goodies. Any questions feel free to ask!


Hope you enjoyed!

-Ben

The price is great seeing how it will fit a T2 and an NA, has great construction quality, and you dont have to cut your frame to get it to fit right on an NA.

Ill be expecting (hoping really) about 4oo hp where-a-bouts. This will be on a s5 motor with a decent streetport, and one thing I dont want to do is blow it up because I didnt have enough fuel. But thats not implying ill have a pig-rich tune.

Looks like your doing open wastegate. Why? Or is it just test fitted to see where to plumb back into the exhaust?

It's going to get ungodly loud once it opens up if it's open atmo.

I don't think they are that loud, as long as its routed to outside the car.

I bet your car at WOT is plenty loud. I believe I saw your car, since there are not too many FCs running around with different front bumpers. Looks good btw...

Thx

Yeah my car is damn loud. Too loud for my tastes but Dual systems are mucho $$.

I'm interested in hearing it run. The last open wastegate car I heard was Carx7's but his was dual open wastegate.

Ill be driving it first with the wastegate to the atmo, and depending on how much the noise bugs me it might be plumbed back into the exhaust. Im not too into loud *** exhaust...so well see

Thats also one of the nice things about using a V-band wastegate. If he does decide to go to a recirc w/g discharge, just undo the wastegate clamp, rotate and make the pipe. You don't have to cut any flat flanges and reposition...
