Finally got around to replacing this abomination of a downpipe, It was 2" to 2.5 to 3" full spool of 13psi was at 5k rpm.

Then I found another source of reduced power and spool and a reminder to check your flex joints.

I replaced it with this piece that I made from an eBay 2.5" vband swingvalve by cutting it apart and adding a partition to separate the wastegate and make it full 3"

Its not done, I have to finish the hole (midnight special, I couldn't find the hole saw) and Im still torn on leaving it tall or making it flush, I might make it shorter though. I does show me how much I need poly mounts and a better bobble strut.
