It can be done with the stock pipe, you just have to be willing to dent in the test pipe a bit.

You can cut and weld the 4-bolt flange

You will have to pull the turbo and have the hotside machined down and a v-band welded on.

Be ready for a pretty fussy install if you decide to go with a 3" downpipe. They can be pretty tight against the block, and you pretty much have to remove the turbo to get to all the bolts. Some things to possibly look at if you go at it would be AOS seals, with the turbo out you can get to it fairly easily and they tend to leak.

the aos is the black can thing that you fill the oil through right?

That's the one, O rings at the bottom tend to leak, and to get to them the turbo pipes need to come off... If your pulling the turbo, do the AOS seals at the same time... I believe it is only like 1 more bolt

AOS is held on by two bolts but once the turbo is out it's pretty simple. I have a thread showing a lot of the work. If you're interested I can post up a link.

The SFR unit is only 50 bucks more. Why not just go with SFR?
