Default Need Help with Dumptube! Nova...

Right now I'm struggling to get pass my safety inspection. Three different inspectors have failed me for three different problems. The one that seems most feasible to fix is to get my dumptube routed to the downpipe. The problem is I need this done by this Friday or a law changes and that same inspector will fail me for an unrelated problem with my SRS light.

So I'm wondering where should I go to get this done? Inlinepro, Ultimate, and AR fab are all tied up this week. The welder at Midas seemed perplexed by the problem and said it'd take him 7-8 hour of labor to do it. Where did you NOVA guys get this done?

or if I can just find a friendly safety inspector, I wouldn't have this problem either...

Engine Bay overview


Current Dumptube setup. Flange off the Tial Wastegate makes 90 turn down, then goes down about a foot.

Underneath view. Space is tight.


The current setup vents to the atmosphere. You could use this in the connection or take off and do a different exit from the wastegate. It just needs to connect to the downpipe more than 18" from the Turbine and be feeding into the exhaust stream with a good angle.
