Message	First of all T0M, these look amazing! Is it just me or does this wastegate placement seem a little high? Just looks like it would stick up even up to the plenum area. Could be the angle of the shot. And just for my own clarity, dump pipes are the pipes coming from the wastegates correct? Would the lack of heat shields affect hoses and wiring near by? Could these be used with the GT28R or RS? I love the v-band exhaust idea, great thinking! "...Downpipes own. They own everything...anything...all there ever was and will be...they should be stock on all cars. Screw the environment, emissions, noise!
