Nope lol, I do have a multi color smashed up mk7 though which is pretty much the same thing

Not perfect, but 3.5” v band fits our turbo outlet well enough to make a purge block
Also fixed the drill press I broke in the move three years ago lol
tort option

Buick GS true CIA I built today. The factory MAF housing will eventually be replaced with more stainless goodness

Jake,
Interesting seeing you evolve your builds. The build material keeps improving. Nice.
For those with talented hands.

Thanks man I’ve come a long way, but still have a long way to go as well. Definitely having fun though it’s a blast building this stuff!
The food grade stainless used for this piece is an option for mk7 parts, just more money than most can justify for something you really can’t see once it’s on the car

The sky is the limit.
As long as I know it is there, all that matters.

For those few who follow this particular thread big things are planned for the end of this year!
TWO new production parts are in the works! Materials are on their way, and I’ve got a weeks vacation from my “day” job

Two good guesses, both are possible in the future
-Bolt on 17950 midpipe for the AWE “Track” exhaust
-Baun Performance Aggressive CBE (I posted a teaser of the prototype a while back). The production version will have a hand fabricated 3” Y pipe

Valved exhaust.
The attached video covers a custom build.
I think this valve and downward dump is interesting.
Looks like something you would build.

Eurowise is actually local to me, I remember when they did that. Personally I’d route the valved portion back into the tips or valve only one side but they do very nice work (lots of high end exotics)
Unfortunately IIRC they charged $3200 for that CBE
