Is it stock piping? If it is then it’s steel.

If it’s aftermarket put a magnet to it, if it sticks it’s mild steel. If it doesn’t, it’s stainless or aluminum. You should be able to tell just by weight then whether it’s Al or SS.

yes, it is stock piping… so i assume i need to get a steel flange right? :slight_smile: do most people mount their bov on that one straight pipe closest to the turbo (the one that runs horisontal beside the engine)? where is the stock bov so i can cap it off?

thanks :slight_smile:

That place for the bov will work fine

The factory bov is under the left hand side splashguard, just infront of the front wheel.
