Default Homemade Downpipe!!

Well i sat down one night and got the idea to make my own exhaust system. I new i had to start somewhere, so i started with the down pipe. I got a flange machined then shaped a 3.5 inch downpipe, then stepped it up to 4 inch beside the tranny cooler lines, then 5 inch all the back I decided to step it up and split it over the axle, and made it dual with 6 inch tips!!! It sounds so good!! All for $600!! I had to cut the sound barrier away to fit the pipe, but worked so slick!!

Dunno. I had a hard time at first but ended up making it work. I had to work over the firewall alittle aswell , but not to bad. When it's all bolted up you only have about 1/4 to 7/16 of an inch between the pipe and firewall. I'm not sure if some people would be like me and go to extreme measures when they can go and buy a 3inch for $200 bucks. The turbo flange i got made for $150 bucks was my start point and the rest i got from work for really cheap.
