Those of you who recirculate your dump tube into your J-pipe or downpipe, how do you connect the two so to still allow for the different expansion.

I plan to use a slip fit between the dump tube and the branch that is welded to the downpipe. But I'm having trouble finding a 1.5" band coupler I can use.

ANy ideas?

I don't know the answer to this, but I was wondering if anyone recircs their dump tubes. I don't think I've ever seen anyone on NICO mention that they do...

I was toying with this idea because my dump tube is extremely loud.

i had this done on my first setup. Basicly i had a 5 bolt tubine housing with the main exit for the down pipe and then the wastgate exit. the flange had two holes one for each. I had 3 in DP and then 1 1/2" waste dump the snaked down and meet up with the DP and it was all welded together.all you really need to do is to take the exit of your wg and put a pipe from it to your DP.

oh forgot to mention that the WG was inline with that 1 1/2" tube from the flange and the DP it was in between the flang and the DP.Hope that helps.
