The pipe runs through the rocker panel, so it is surrounded by the inner and outer rocker. The only thing im concerned with is how hotthe pipe will get? I was not planning on running an intercooler but with the pipe there it wont get any air flow around it, so I ordered an intercooler last night,lol I just used a 3" hole saw to look inside and see if it was open all the way through and it was. Ill keep u guys updated on how it works out. Going to run a T70 with eathier 2.5" or 2.25".from what ive read, its sounds like the bigger tube will reduce the pressure drop from the turbo inlet side, but then again I think sts uses 2.25"?

The tube is basically a dummy pipe except when the waste gate opens and then it opens up to a 3.5 exhaust tip to keep the rear of the TA to look normal.

If your talking about the blue tube it was for my mbc, the dial was under the back bumper. I ended up taking that off and adding truboost.
