Message	like metioned above, there are actually a ridge on the inside of where the flange meets the piping, the welds are poor so I had to spend money to get the pipes welded inside and grounded smooth. I also put some O2 bungs on them so wideband sensors can be installed, overall I think I spent way too much money on them. Aluminized and stainless steel doesn't really matter since the highest temperature of gas is met by the downpipes and aluminzed piping will do just fine. 2.4" and 2.5" isnt that big of a difference as well because it won't make a huge differnce on the stock turbos. Now that i look back, it's not worth the money to get so much work done since the difference will be too small to notice on stock turbos anyway, so my advice is buy the cheapest test pipes that will fit and be done with it.
