    Probably just to get the general shape of the piece before welding.

    Fuckin' sweet setup and looks great!

    But I have one question...why the triangle 3-bolt flanges rather than some v-bands? I know they work, but aren't v-bands a little better of a seal and less to worry about?

    Again...sweet looking build...I wish I could make my own turbo kits!!!

    This is probably my favorite out of all the custom built hot part kits I've seen. :2thumbs:
    Earlier you posted that the headers you used where for an F-150, are they for a 302 or 351?
    Thanks
