Nice man, but why'd you decide to route the dumptube of the wastegate to your exhaust?

Dumped to atmosphere sounds like deh sex :cool:

So yea... it's not a perfect fit. Got some bitching to do to a certain french canadian... For all of you wondering what belt to use when removing the AC, NAPA part number 25-060370.

[twokexlv6coupe]

jesuss dude you are not having good luck with this manifold!!!
i'd be furriousssssss at them!!!


i think you'll need a poundometer to make it fit. 50% of the time, it works all the time!
