Low Compression Results Should I Still Go Turbo ?

J13 sooo mad
Here are actual pictures of my downpipe. $300 plus tax seems reasonable for a quality part. Pie cuts and welding is time consuming, especially if youre doing it right. Making quality welds takes skill and patience, exhaust shops ive seen in my area have lackluster work, with crush bent piping and mig welds. Disgusting. And they have the nerve to charge labor rates up the ass for shit work they do.











amazing clearence, and its 3 inch :D

Shut up baby, I know it!
I must have gotten lucky. $60/hour shop price. $10 a foot for piping.

Like I said.. it's really simple for a downpipe to be made. The only hard part of it was making my dumptube. My wastegate flange was on the power steering side of my manifold, so the dump tube had to wrap around between the manifold and the block to attach to the exhaust.

Try going to a normal muffler shop and not just some random speed shop. I feel that it's way overpriced, but I guess the other turbo guys around here got boned on their exhausts too, so it's all good. :p

Typically labor rates around here are $40/60 an hour for the average muffler shop.. :thumbs up
40-60 dollar labor rates at a muffler shop??? where do you live? ill drive there to have my exhaust put on, only reason i havent installed my new system is because i know ill need at least 600 to get it installed.
