Awesome man. When I get time hopefully this summer im going to bump up the diameter where I can and get most of them beaded and welded, also move the BOV to the TB.
What dia.? Where did you get the piping and about how much did it cost you for the welding?

Nah, I suck at aluminum welding. Had a friend do it.

Yes, every end has either the factory roll or a welded bead.

2.5" and the piping came from one of those fleabay kits. You may want to consider 2.25" though, it was a pain to find room for the 2.5". Cost? Friend usually means cheaper than what a shop would do it for so it really would not matter what I said the price was.

Yes, brown on one wheel first then white on the other. And only one pipe got ripped out of my hands and shot across the room during the process. Not bad.

Obviously not as shiny as yours, but Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish and a little elbow grease does a decent job. Your welds look great BTW. I'm still using couplers since I fail at welding aluminum

You did that with Mothers? I cant imagine how much work that must have been. +1 for the effort.
