Message	ill post pictures soon of them ...but i wont have any data to show the benefits or lack there of. i plan on wrapping the downpipes and almost all of the test pipes. purely for temp control. thank you for the advice and good insight. what do you think about dumping the wastegate pipe (td05's) into the test pipe? will that cause too much air flow problems? say...a foot after the downpipes. kinda like your split downpipes, but a little longer?
