Thumbs up

Only used the SAMCO clamps on the two large ends... But just got back from a 10 mile ride. Dammmmmm the Turbo really has a high pitch wind. And the deverter valve from stratmosphere really peshhhhooooo in between gears LOWDER. Great performance, hits boost QUICK... I love it.. Just checked on exhaust. Don't know if I'm going to run a 2.5 or 3" downpipe yet? and I might try it without a muffler with high flow cat and all 2.5".

The one I was worried about was the hose on that nipple ... had to use the OEM clamp ... but due to the increased size of the nipple ... it was a tight squeeze getting it over the nipple and hose ... thats why we had to slide it on the hose .. keep it open while trying to get the end of the hose over the nipple. It was a real PIA, I thought Samco would have resized that nipple to match the OEM pipe by now, like we really need it bigger for more vacuum with the higher flow going through there, even without the chip.

Did you use the Samco Clamps?
