It's just man strength, that is all. My internal torque wrench needs recalibrating.

Cold blooded.

All depends on how far I get with my little project man.

Spool up should be much better, the internals are microblued, the turbine housing will have a heat shield and the DP will be wrapped.

It's a PIA to install and remove. Flows pretty good though.

I disagree, its a fairly small pipe, and its a solid cast piece. This means that as the engine moves and the downpipe does not it can put stress on the manifold causing it to crack.

Also when coating it and wrapping cast pieces they are more likely to crack than a tubular piece... I will have a flex pipe with a 3" pipe out.

I think I can work it out... We shall see.

I had an odd dream last night that you somehow ordered the wrong flange and when you got your new one in it fit everything perfect.
