make one man. . . $60 in bends, $18 4-bolt flange, $20 flex pipe, 6-18 beers and like 3 hours. Plus you get to say you made it! I did 3" turbo back, side exit before the rear.
Good luck, and have fun
I am ready to build my own downpipe and exhaust and was wonderring what bends you used for the downpipe. It looks like you cut up a couple "U" bends to make this setup. i just want to make sure i buy the right stuff and only have to order from someone once.

I did my whole exhaust with this kit...full 3" turbo back....
did you use the rest of the bends for the rest of the exhaust system and just buy straight pipe from your local auto parts store. if so im guessing there are extra bends left after building the dp to do the rest of the exhaust. Just want to make sure i understood you correctly

I'm trying to decide on either 2.5" or 3". If I'm only going to run 15PSI max, what do you guys think?

Anybody know where to get stainless steel flex pipes for a good price?
Oh, and it wouldn't hurt if they were in Europe

Wont matter, the larger exhaust would still be beneficial.

yes I had some 3" straight from another project....I only need about 3' of straight.
I had 1 180* bend left over....I probably could have used it but I got sick of fitting pipes.. :lol:

I got mine from the same place I got my piping kit...
http://store.racing-solutions.org/flco.htmlthey are just as cheap as summit racing on flex couplers....but they are not in Europe....

Thanks mate, those are OK prices, but in my case the shipping costs would kill the deal...
I guess I'll just have to keep browsing through the eBay

Is England to far? I know a few people on the vwcaddy.com have built theirs with pre-manufactored bits. Don't have the links off hand but will later.

Europe would be just fine. I have one quote from an eBay seller, and it's quite good price, but the shipping cost is a bit steep.
I need two flex pipes anyway, one for the turbine outlet and one for the separate downpipe for the waste gate..

flex section for the wastegate!? talk about overdoing it.
How does a 2.5 run right out of the passengers side fender sound? Smoke the ricer in more ways than one.
Thats the plan for me. SS tubings and bends are easily bought from truck supply houses.
