Made the downpipe last night using FLUXCORE because I ran out of gas and just wanted to get it done. After some grinding, paint and thermal wrap you won't notice.
Also mounted the IC up front.
Here is my downpipe escapade:
Flange w/ wastegate hole made larger.
Cut piece of 2.5" stainless pipe to fit
Fitting
welded. Ufff, those are some gangster welds.
And yes I did cut a hole in the downpipe. Just forgot to take a pic, lol.
Some pics of the car:
