Kinda like the Velox unit with the little flip at the end?

Mine is has a radius throughout the whole thing - it's actually curved. It was relatively easy to stress in to place then weld all the strakes on to hold everything where it was at, but if yours is going to just have a little up-turn at the end that'd make manufacturing much easier! Another one of the reasons that I did a radius the way that I did is because I actually have a fullsize muffler (it's spec'd for a diesel truck - 3" straight through, 7" body diameter, 24" OAL) and the radius neatly tucks around that. It looks like you're going to be sticking with the straight pipe (resonated?) though, so a muffler and the space it consumes won't be an issue for you.

Very interested to see how you progress with this project. I'm already looking at doing a V2 on mine since I learned as much about this one as I did.

BTW, do you have any drive bys with your turbo and exhaust setup? I'd love to hear it!
