If I remember correctly, it just basically points and vents to anywhere lol. I didn't really look at the instructions much. I would just connect it to a catch can, but make sure the catch can vents to atm

How was it! What psi did you use? I'm surprised the axles didn't break! You are pretty low!

Is the fbm base tune safe to drive on? I'm still waiting on my clutch to arrive and install it. So I might not be able to get a tune until later.. I'm not pushing it hard, or wot at all. Most I've gone is 1/4 to 1/2 throttle. Just daily driving, with a few rolling into it here and there.
I logged a bit of driving and it recorded some knock like 1-3 degrees? Just wanted some input on people's thoughts on it.

Hi guys. I had a local shop order the stage 1 kit from FBM, and there are numerous unevenness/warping at the flanges on the downpipe and manifold. I'm no expert, but the local shop, PSI in Tucson, AZ, absolutely refused to install the kit onto my car in its current state. What do you guys think? Does everyone's look the same when theirs arrived?

Did that come from FBM directly or someone else?

We resurface them to seal on the sealing surface. It would not be a problem with sealing. We explained that some flanges are sometimes are not taken all the way down on the edges otherwise it would be extremely thin. We will be in contact with the shop who is doing the install.
