    Who says size doesn't matter?!? 5" downpipe tacked together. I will be welding this up tonight and then making the wastgate dump to merge into it. If it wasn't so stinking hot and now humid, I would be down in the garage working on it right now! But then between the black widows and now the wasps I'm constantly watching over my shoulder for the sneak attack by bugs!

    I know what you mean about the heat, it 110 here today and even with the garage door insulated and the 2000btu air conditioner going............it was still 85 in the garage...............just too hot to work very long for the "Ole Guy".
    Keep up the good work..................it is very, very nice!

    Thanks guys! I really appreciate the compliments.

    Well, I finished welding the downpipe and added the wastegate tube...and then...(As they say on the TV show Wipeout)...it took big balls, but I cut a hole in my perfectly good fender!

    Now if my poor emblem doesn't get too overheated I will be doing good!
