I decide to make "lemonade", if you will, with what I had left of the wg exit and came up with what is in the photos. What is your opinion of it ? I think(?) I like it.

Sick how does it sound? Im guessing like sex

Yeah, I've had it out the bumper for about a year, but it used to look like this.

After I went off-track at a lapping day, the wastegate had melted a big ugly hole so I did what I could to make the best of it.

Whoa, Would a rubber ring have stopped it from melting?

I was gonna do this years ago in another car, but decided against it.
I was worried about getting soot all down the side of the car or worse yet melting stuff.
Curious to see how this holds up on a street car. i think it looks mean as hell though and prob sounds bad ***. I was gonna do my side exit open DP on bottom then the open WG dump on top.
