ok, finaly got all my exhaust componants in and let me tell you this 4in downpipe is turning into quite the task. Ill figure something out but everything will have to be precise so things dont come into contact. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/bmw%20build%20part3/IMGP0058.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/bmw%20build%20part3/IMGP0058.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/bmw%20build%20part3/IMGP0059.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/bmw%20build%20part3/IMGP0059.jpg) i wanted to leave enough room to recirc waste up to my downpipe but ill have to put the hood on to measure clearance. hopefully ive got some room. if not ill just have to figure something else out. oh, and im out of argon.☹ ---
