Got the downpipe and dumptube all done, mounted the intercooler as well. The downpipe is 4inch diameter .065wall 304 stainless steel. The rest of the exhaust will be 4inch diameter .065wall aluminum. Here are a bunch of pics: Intercooler mounted: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/ic.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/ic.jpg) Downpipe all tacked up: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/dptacked.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/dptacked.jpg) Downpipe all welded up: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/finishedwelddp1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/finishedwelddp1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/finishedwelddp.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/finishedwelddp.jpg) Everything installed on the motor: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/100_0093.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/100_0093.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/installed.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/installed.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/100_0094.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/100_0094.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/100_0095.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/LowlyOilBurner/100_0095.jpg) All that’s left, fabrication-wise is the intercooler piping, weld in the O2 bungs on downpipe, and finish the exhaust. Intercooler piping is next on the list, once thats done, motor comes out and off to the machine shop with that and the head. ---

Looks nice. My only concern is the WG being a 90 degree or less angle from the runners. Any concern of boost creep with that setup? ---
