Buschur Flex pipe w/RRM turbo?

Does anybody have this set up? The way it looks now, is that there wont be much room to add is a larger diameter pipe to the RRM d/p because of where it is located. Fitment issues looks like will be a problem. I would really like to know if anyone has this because the stock flex pipe looks like a HUGE bottle-neck.

Do you know if it rubs on the oil pan? I would assume so since the stock one does.....

Your stock flex pipe doesnt touch the oil pan at all with the RoadRace turbo kit? I'll have to take pics of mine to show you.

i really wish rrm would jsut make a dp, i think theres a big enough demand for one but they always say it isnt needed which i dont by plus their "need" is based on who would buy it.

I was thinking of going to a local exhaust shop and asking if they could make one that bends to the right.

I dont know of anyone else that sells flex pipes.....or "a' pipes, or what ever they are called.

havent gotten a quote in my city but have had friends get a full turboback done in south FL for 400, so tahts waht im assuming my range will be. that is considerably cheaper taht what buschur sells theirs for on here:

2.5" CNC mandrel bent 304 stainless steel downpipes, $195.
2.5" high flow cats, $115.
2.5" CNC mandrel bent 304 stainless steel catback WITH a polished SS MAGNAFLOW muffler, $315.

that comes out to $625 and it doesnt come with a resonator to quiet it down, plus you got to add a lot for shipping.

I also think Road Race should make a custom flex pipe that would complement their turbo set up, since their turbo downpipe is off to the right a little.....
