Few pics of the Specialty Z 3 inch set up downpipes and exhaust With MatsZ Rear Diffusor !
Also power steering hard line delete and relocation ,was a last minute decision as after installing 2.5 piping we then realized we forgot to install the PS hard line ;().....

I have to Say Much thanks to Greg for the quality and precision on the exhaust. Out of many i have installed it is a good one to install.

Ill post some pics of the 2.5 piping install from ASH.
Also found that if your running stock recerks, the intake side hose doesn't fit the 2.5 set up, so we used a water hose from a vw TDI 2012 as it had Exact bends we needed and it is exact diameter for the recerk. Buying that Hose makes all the difference on the install.

Also running jwt 700 turbos with 3 inch SZ down pipes make sure you ORDER OEM NISSAN 5 bolt gaskets instead of the once that come with the Turbos.

JWT 700 turbos because you have to Install your oem aluminum elbows on to them make sure you use the proper bolts and also use OEM gaskets as if you use the metal crush once it will leak as we tested. Also on the Driver side turbo when you install the oem elbow on top of the turbo the lower bolt when installing is not a see through hole and when the flenge gets welded the aluminum flows into the path giving you little thread to grab on to with a shorter bolt that you have to use there. Also the Return Lines on the JWT 700 had to be worked on quite a lot to fit them.
When installing the 2.5 pipe onto the intake side of the turbo on the driver side turbo use silicone on the gasket as it also leaked there after doing a leak test on the turbo it self, leaked from the side of the flange. Not sure if its an issue with the 2.5 pipe surface or the JWT turbo surface.

test pipes sit very low on the car, will have to raise the car higher to not kill the piping right away.
