I would look at Trick or KB. I just purchased the trick stage III. I havent started on the install yet, but everything looks pretty darn nice! From my research your not going to run into any problems with either of these vendors, as I think they have the kits nailed down pretty good after making/improving on them for years.

Nothing wrong with vendors chiming in. I dug through several install threads before purchasing, and unfortunately it seemed like most of the images that may have answered many questions from older threads no longer pop up.

The core mounts against the core support.
Anything particular you want to see?
How the down pipe and cross over pipe routes?

I have a trick kit and love it! I would look into trick or KB the ON3 kit is garbage and not worth the money. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I would rather spend more money on a quality kit then buy a cheap kit and have to spend more money later down the road to get a quality kit.

Path is the same. Pipe size is different.

Im liking how trick positions their turbos and also the hotside piping. The turbo is facing forward so it would be easy to run a 90 degree elbow into the stock airbox or a volant.

I was looking at routing the wastegate back into the downpipe. So it wasn't so loud

What do we do about the 02 sensors. Does one of them get shut off?

Nope, we’ll just the 2x after cat sensors, you would still use your “before cat” o2 sensors.

Also a big swaying factor for me with the purchase of the trick kit over the KB kit was the all 1x piece cast SS manifold
