Exhaust Fab

It goes without saying that if I am fabricating the headers, etc then I’ll need to make the exhaust piping as well.  This was the easiest part so far!  I like the way it’s turned out.  I started out with the V-band exhaust flange and had my friend weld it to the turbine exhaust flange that I found online that would work for an external wastegate.  It basically blocked off the internal wastegate port.  I still had it welded shut regardless.  I put the wastegate on the rear header pipe.  The wastegate blow off pipe will tap right into the exhaust. In a perfect world I would have the waste pipe coming right off of the split where the two headers meet.  This should work though.

Starting to fab up the exhaust. Little bit at a time.

Just got the pipes positioned for a quick mock up. Now to take them and have them welded!
