Finally getting started now that it is warmer

This is just the size of the flange opening. Inside tube diameter is just under 1-5/8 and is also going to be a log style manifold which should fit in the exact location of the stock manifold. With the turbo I don't get the advantage of long runners.

no but there are discussions as far as equal length tubes for having even pulses on the turbo... im trying to figure out how your stretch that 1 5/8 tube to an almost 1 3/4" opening...
