    I would never pay for this garbage. People have put down good numbers with out it, why would you want it? Just replace your O ring and call it a day.

    Yeah, I replaced my o-ring, no leaks, just wanted to run a uniform size of pipe for DIY ic piping. I don't want it to look ghetto rigged up when I do it. I will not be ordering anything from them. Thanks for the input.

    yeah that's why I used a coupler on mine, I had 2" IC piping and it was a smoother transition than just having a segment of the stock pipe coupled with the 2" piping.

    It is not necessary, but if your making custom pipes it can be done. All i did was put a towel in the turbo to keep the shavings out, and cut the ear off with a hand saw. Then i just filed it until it was a smooth circle all the way around. a 2'' coupler is just a little bit of a stretch but fits nicely, then just throw a T-bolt on it and call it a day. I am running 23 pounds on the stockers and it hasnt blown off yet.

    This is the best pic i got of it

    -Chris Cessna's Stock short block Evo 8: 9.76@150 Worlds Fastest Stock Motor Evo 8 and First Stock Block In The 9's!

    -Mike Faggiano Evo3 16g stock motor 1g 11.0@124 just a 16g knockin on 10's door.
    And the list goes on...

    I left a bit of the ear on to act as a lip to help hold the coupler, but its probably overkill.

    If you are running larger than stock piping I don't see how you can stay the stock setup is fine.
