So i finally got the exhaust ran and i just have a few questions on deciding on a muffler, the only muffler i have tried so far is the moroso spiral flow race muffler and it quitened it down pretty good and sounds decent but i am just wonder if the spiral flow design is no good for a turbo car and was just wondering how it would compare to like a dynomax bullet of some kind?

Here are some pics of the design..

Finally i got the car pretty much finished i just have to go get it tuned and dynoed, after a month on waiting on fenix999 to send me the alternator relocation kit i gave up and ordered the speed inc relocation kit which seems to be a really nice kit and works good but now the dam water gauge is all screwy and i cant figure out whats wrong with it, i have replaced the sensor twice but i guess its something else, sometimes it wont work at all and other times it fluctuates up and down and the cars rpm will fluctuate too and sometimes die, soo im pretty much stumped and was wondering if anybody has any ideas????

If everything fluctuates, I'd say its a ground issue. Another question for you, did you disconnect the battery when you were welding?

I only see a red X. It should fit without any modification. You sure you're using the right manifolds.
