Here are the pics, they are clicky. First, the Xios downpipe. Beautifully finished with a nice bellmout discharge from the turbine. Flange is decently thick.:



Top quality welds throughout, nicely formed bellmouth:



Downpipe outlet flange:



Here is the ram's horn manifold. Positions the turbo within a fraction of an inch from the oil seperator. No, it's not a modified version of the Ford Racing manifold as I suspected.



Here you can see the brace between the head flange and turbo flange. Fantastic welding throughout. It just doesn't get any better than this!





Here is the finished installation on my car. Obviously the entire cold side is my own Air/Water intercooler setup. You can also see my hood vent. Works fantastically, the heat pours out, you can see it when stopped. I used a perforated steel instead of cheap looking chicken wire or expanded metal sheet. The edge of the hood is lined with "Cockpit Coaming" from a model airplane shop. Rubber edge that finishes the cut edge nicely.



The manifold is turning a beautiful straw colour.







The downpipe and Random Tech Cat hang much lower than I'd like. It's pretty much the lowest thing on the car, which is never a good thing to be. To be sure, this is the factory location from the SVT, I just think it's too low for my "tarmac spec rally car" setup I'm shooting for. I will probalby have to do something about it eventually.
