Turbo Hot Pipes \u2013<\/strong>
There are a few brands out on the market, but they are basically the same. These pipes are not professional grade and are normally made with thin stainless tubing, however for pricing and availability they are the best option on the market.  Typically these pipes come with cheap hardware and gaskets, it is recommend to buy some hardened hardware with lock-nuts and Remflex gaskets to make installing a one time job.  For this guide I am using the pipes shown.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

These are<\/strong><\/em> the most common style hot pipes available, this is a SSAC (SSautochrome) style, they use Hotshot Primary header design and mount the turbo near the battery tray area. The turbo inlet will be at the edge of the battery tray. This style uses a 38mm flange for the waste gate.<\/p>

Common issues with these pipes is getting the flanges to match up and having to modify the cross members. Often the header flanges do not match to the Y pipe correctly, or at all.  This may require prying or re-welding the flange on correctly.  If you have this problem and choose to re-weld, an upgrade is to weld on band clamp flanges, they seal the best and are much easier to work with.<\/p>

  These pipes don\u2019t have a flange to recirculate the waste gate back into the exhaust system. So you will either need to make and route a dump pipe from your waste gate, or modify the piping to recirculate the waste gate into the down pipe. <\/p>

Something\u2019s to consider before making this choice is: <\/p>

Dumping the waste gate \u2013 When the wastegate opens its going to blow exhaust out its exit port,  if the dumping isnt properly routed you will have exhaust fumes in your engine bay, causing soot and smoke.    Proper routing of a dump pipe to exit the engine bay is recommended. Another thing to consider is sound- the waste gate doesn\u2019t have a pleasing sound when it opens, its raspy and winy, It will be noticeably audible over exhaust, spool up and engine sounds.<\/p>

Recirculating the waste gate- This is one of the best options, but difficult. This will require some customization and stainless welding experience.  When done properly, there is no change in overall exhaust tone and you can hear the turbo spool up loudly. <\/p><\/div><\/div>
