I’m glad there’s some humor in this thread. It’s really neat how nicely that little turbo fits there.

I swore I was going to take the day off of the bike but I whipped up this new mount. Sorry 'bout the 'gram filter but I needed to lighten the pic.

The downpipe flange is actually underneath it in the picture. I made two. One with twin outlets and one for an oval outlet. The twin outlet one is installed.

It absolutely could be, but I think it would look too big and flat. Doing it like this adds some depth and dimension.

recut the “mount” to look just a little bit more like brass knuckles. Definitely do dual pipes.

It’s hard to actually draw sweeping curves that come back on themselves but you get the idea.
I’ve always liked the look of high mounted pipes. Kind of flat tracker style. I think it would go well with your high mid controls.

👏 lol, nice work, Don!
I do like the way the exhaust routing looks on that second pic though; that’s my vote
