Default My new custom turbo exhaust

Well to begin with i wasnt really sure what kind of exhaust i wanted. A certain someone kept trying to talk me into getting a super dragger but i just wasnt feelin the single out setup so i went ahead and dumped some cash into some magnaflow's and some badass tips. Heres the setup: 3" mandrel bent midpipe to 2 2.5" tail pipes to the magnaflow mufflers with the 4" tips. I got the midpipe from a tt supra downpipe, I just had the part where it connects to the turbos chopped off and it fit perfectly when a flange was welded on.

Heres some pics and vid:



The turbo n such:

P.S. O.L.T.-If you feel the need to move this to the performance section, go ahead. I wasnt sure where to put this so...

Ya im on the stock tranny, its not really holding up either. I have to let off the gas in order for it to shift only at 4psi...

Im pretty sure there are some NA-T autos runnin around. I think the stock auto can handle a bit of power, but you might check into that. I dont think you'd have problems at 350hp.

well i know my first performance mod is gonna be a TC and then a BFI then do turbo..are there any auto upgrades i can do for my tranny? This will be my daily driver till i get the V8 in the s10..so it being decently reliable is very important.

Auto's can kind of handle it, they just wont be able to shift while under load.... A really cheap alternative to going with a 5sp is just buying a 1jz autoset. They can handle a good 400whp with a good coolar and some say they're a lot smoother than the ge auto's.

How much power do you think you're making? and when you say they won't shift under load do you mean like when you just stomp the foot down on the gas (not like any of us would do that! ) and bring it up to about 6k rpms it wont shift? you have to let off the gas?

Id say really close to 300whp. A friend of mine has an na-t supra and hes pushing 10psi and my car feels like its about as quick and he dyno'd around 300. My tranny wont shift over anything above 4k rpm's if im on the throttle (at that point im at full boost)
