2.5" stainless v-bands, crossover piping and bends, flex couplers, EGT bungs, aluminum downpipe flange and some 5" aluminum pipe are on the way...
current plan is to try to bring the 2.5 pipes to the center of the motor (to keep both banks balanced...we've got some data suggesting this is pretty important), merge into a single 3.5" pipe, then run a 3.5" pipe into a 3.5" x T6 transition I found
For the record...
a single 16-gauge 3.5" pipe has 8.92 in^2 area
dual 16-gauge 2.5" pipes have 8.82 in^2 area

I don't think their picture is right (it says picture may not be of exact product). I'll take a pic once it arrives

Dang that website is awesome. They've got a lot of good stuff. I like that 3.50" to T6 form. IMO that makes things a lot easier since you can buy parts already pre-fabbed like that.

transition came in...it was a smidge big in one direction for my T6 flange (some manufacturers are different than others I suppose)...10 minutes with a carbide burr fixed that...left it tight and I pressed it into the flange...

Well is it done yet?!?!? where are the updates?? Don't make Zturd, MikeP and myself come down there and finish it up for ya. MikeP needs to work on his welding since he just ordered stuff to put a 10point in the Vett since he got kicked out of Cecil the other week
