yeah, this was the last part of the exhaust (besides the turbo

h: ) that was stock.
fwiw, the hks downpipe i have only has a 3" opening so it kinda blocks some of the gas flow from the wastegate so the new downpipe that's going on tomorrow (have to take it to a shop since one of the bolts stripped) has a bigger mouth opening, i'm also going to get a 3" flowtech cutout to get put in the downpipe while the shop has it on the lift
