take a shot on it and let us know! i don't see why it wouldn't work. Either way you are better off running that than not running anything at all.

that thing looks so cheaply made.. doesn't even look like it's welded, more like soldered.

a local exhaust shop can make that for pretty cheap.. I had mine made, brought him the flange and he madrel bent me a one piece custom fitted dumptube for $40

From the little picture it shows, the inside of the pipe seems to taper from 38-35mm to an even smaller Inside Diameter to transition to the flexible portion of the piece. If you're having issues with boost creep, I can only see that making things worse. But, like others have said, any dumptube is better than none at all. Even if it only stays together for a few weeks!

I don't see why this wouldn't work? It's not like the dump tube out of the waste gate is doing something all the time and it doesn't get nearly as hot as the down pipe. It's not like it's going to melt or something. I actually might get one for my SR.

it worked great...I mad I didn't take pictures when I had it on...I wish they gave me a second short elbow so I can turn it into the exhaust because I had to use the elbow and top to curve away from my down pipe....
