    First time I've driven either of my cars turbo'd with legit exhaust. Nice drive today

    Nice!
    always fun to drive the car with something new on it. Any concerns with the WG dump into the main exhaust without a flex pipe?

    Good eye, I noticed that. If did the exhaust I would have put a flex pipe there too. Had a guy near me do it, only charged me $400, including materials. Took him a day and half about, I probably would have made the piping as straight as possible too. But I'm not complaining, it's quality work from what I can tell

    Not really, id suspect if something hit the tube it will flex/bend somewhere around whats pictured or at the spa dump. Still would be a pain and take additional time to mess with but it's tucked pretty good there. Only time I ever bottom anyway is when I pull the car into my garage. Had a little scrap on the flex pipe itself, I have got to get more gravel to level the entrance out

    I'm also considering selling the car in the near future. But I can't decide if I want to take it to a body shop and have the dents/dings repaired as well as repainted, so its near mint. Or tidy up a few more smaller things and sell sooner

    Being that the w.g. Pipe is CS, I doubt it will crack down the road.

    Are you serious about selling the car? I still regret selling my junk 84 318i.

    Id suspect that it will warp before cracking too.

    Yeah, I'm toying with the idea. I've had a few surprises come about recently that really don't warrant a need for speed, ha.
