Our VE-T customer had a concern about an exhaust leak, and why does the car feel as if it's being choked up... I was initially requested to replace exhaust manifold gasket, didn't see any leaks, but once I started her up, it was apparent that something was definitely wrong. We had modified the original lobster tail the customer had bought, and upon removing it today, since we believe it to be a restriction, found it was cracked... all over the place. We had a T2 universal exhaust flange, and go to work shaping 3" piping, after 6 hrs of welding, realized I didnt have space to put the bolts in, lol. Chop it up and re-did most of it.
You can see where i had already welded vs new section I needed to make.
Eventually said fukkitol, make the downpipe one piece, and openned up pandora's box, will take pics of the aftermath of changing designs.
