Though,  I like uniformity, and its killing me that there isn't a complete solution from the turbo's back already. IMHO that's when the real power is going to start being found.  That said  you could also port the stock adapters were you inclined to do so with a dremel  tool and a carbide bit, or maybe even a good hole saw.  All it would take is a template and a steady hand.  It's not as fancy as a store bought part, but it wouldn't need to be perfect either.  As far as performance is concerned  adding them to a stock exhaust probably bumps you somewhere around 5 HP, but you still run into  the issue of that  reduction in exhaust tubing diameter.  Think about water running through a pipe, If you have a 1 inch pipe and you suddenly  transition that into a 2 inch pipe you'd lose pressure, because you can move the more  water through the larger pipe.  on the flip side of that going from 2 in to  1 in  would increase pressure but lose volume. With a turbo or boosted applications you want volume more than pressure. The faster and easier you can get the exhaust gasses out of the engine /exhaust system the easier it is to make more power.  Both  pipes would get the  job done,  but ultimately the bigger hole make for an easier removal of exhaust gases. Basically, small to large pipe is good, and large to small is bad, But ideally, you want a single size solution for optimal performance..---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------variances, or some basic porting so its not a straight hole cut into some cast iron?</blockquote>
