Most of it looks badass and I don't mean to downplay the craftsmanship, but the "down" pipes looks a lot like dryer hose to me.

If your dumb enough to confuse a pie cut exhaust pipe from a dryer hose then I feel sorry for you...because you must not know your a.s from a hole in the ground:):):)

I commented on charlieturbos instagram and asked a similar question, but he didnt answer. Obviously the pie cuts and tig welds look awesome, but other than looking cool, what is the purpose of cutting a straight section of pipe into little 1" bits and tig welding it together? Seems excessive to me. Even the bends. Couldnt a mandrel bend do essentially the same thing?

Serious question.

I agree as far as performance is concerned no difference but as far as how I wanted to have a kit built it's all preferences :) I wanted something different..just wasn't going to settle for a production kit...I told him to do whatever so this is what he came up with. And as far the hood exit I told him to do that or the fender he did this. I wanted to keep as much heat away from my radiator and intercooler down low

complete waste of time.......the inter-cooler needs to go in the trash. I would never pay someone to pie cut pipe........complete waste on money and time.

I got a chance to stop by the shop last night to pick up some part, and take a look at the car. It really is beautiful guys, and sounds even better. Thanks again for the parts buddy.

Wow, this is a unique build. I must say that it seems there is a huge amount of excess welds in the pipes in order to make the necessary bends, etc. Nonetheless, it's pretty radical!
