ALot of hard work and very long nights went into this system. its not easy or fun fitting 20lbs of shit in a 5lb rx7. 🙂 anyway here is the twin 38mm gates ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-13_195126.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-13_195126.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-13_195152.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-13_195152.jpg) the exhaust is all welded up and fabricated, we may add more to it later but for now this is how she will be. 30+ welds and over 20hrs of fabricating and 10hrs of welding alone to complete this exhaust system. downpipe ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-19_054955.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-19_054955.jpg) back section ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-19_054941.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-19_054941.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010734.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010734.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010742.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010742.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010805.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010805.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010812.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_010812.jpg) making some rainbows while welding 3.5in pipe for the turbo cold side vband. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_030904.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_030904.jpg) and finaly a pipe of stuff with 3 o2 sensor bungs, one for each bank and another for a wideband in the down pipe. wastegate vbands all welded up also. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_035528.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/2011-03-20_035528.jpg) There will still be some stuff left to weld up but i ran outta time for now while i wait for the new :snky: :snky: to get installed in my shop.
