    Downpipe...

    Hi guys,
    I just wanted to show everyone that you can fit a 5" downpipe in a Maverick. You just have to think outside the box...or in this case, outside the fenderwell!

    It's a Borg Warner 80mm T6. Spooling may be a problem, that's why you see the solenoids on the motor. I have an old school Liberty Toploader 4 speed in it and between that the small cubes (347) and the 1.35 a/r exhaust I just don't see it spooling very fast. I don't trust my welds on the exhaust enough to bring it up on a two step, but we will see. If I calculate in a big tail wind...

    Well, I finished welding the downpipe and added the wastegate tube...and then...(As they say on the TV show Wipeout)...it took big balls, but I cut a hole in my perfectly good fender!
