I love the way some of this stuff turns out --
This is the exhaust pipe from the turbo to the outside world. Gotta clearance for everything

Looks like a lower control arm roaster. I am not an expurt fabricator by any measure and I don't think you were looking for a nit pick so please pardon me in advance. This is not a nit pick just honest questions for my own learning.
There was no way to not split the tube? As a builder I would be kicking myself for not seeing far enough ahead to plan better less complex and convoluted plumbing. Is there something missing under the control arm? It looks like the tube could have been dropped down under the lower arm and run out clean and round. Less metal and lower cog.

Yes, inconel
Yes, it could have run under the lower control arm but there is A LOT of aero work in this area of high flow -- so its kept open as much as possible. Also, this tailpipe is a axle cooker as well
