The turbo exhaust inlet and outlet arn't even 2.5" turbo exit is 2.25" Stock starion exhaust 2.25" with 2" dump pipe restricts down to even less than 2" at some points in the system (1 7/8" at dump pipe connector) I reacon 2.5" will be plenty large enough for me as...

Hey I managed to drill out the holes with a 118degree cutting angle also I used some cutting oil while drilling, still cuting out the turbo flange now with a carbide burr. Y am I using a mig? Simply put it's because I have one to use. I'm not ready to spend more on a tig welder when I don't do a who...

Just an observation, the numbers between factory and your new ones don't match. ie, your speed at 80mph with the new gauges will actually now be closer to 85mph due to the different positioning of the numbers compared to stock... Have you corrected for this as I do notice the needle sitting a bit lo...

Can't, its my one day off and its already booked

Sounds like its just a longer stroke.

Note that widebody front shocks won't fit a narrow body starion.

Relay box next to battery, I had my tail lights and headlights play up once and thats were I went.

Awsome, another brown interior starion, Those seats are in great condition too.

That mean that the top hose positions the same?
Are the mounting points the same as stock starion or are new brackets required?
Length same or shorter?
