Sorry about that. I'll change the article right now. I still don't know what part you'll need, I was misinformed by the first guy I got information from. Unless they've changed the rails since then. Let me know what the end fittings turn out to be and I'll add them back in to the article.

I spoke with silverludesi and he informed me the fittings on the AEM fuel rail are -6an fittings. I will double check this tomorrow and let you guys know whats the deal.

I can confirm that, it's -6an on both sides.

i ordered 3" 180deg 14gauge DynoMax mandrel bent piping from summit racing for $18.50 a piece, part # WLK-42323. One U-bend should do the trick to make the whole downpipe, depending on the lenth of straight you need. I have a local welder here that is a GREAT welder and he is going to custom fabricate a 3" dp as well as exhaust for me so ill post pics when its all finished. Im also running a 3" flexpipe, no cat, no resonator, and apexi n1 turbo muffler.

damm that is going to be LOUD! Is your turbo a 4 or 5 bolt hot side? Mine is 5 and I think it may limit my capabilities of getting a 3" pipe welded to it. Do you think it's an issue?

Loud as in ricy sounding? I hope not... It better have a nice low deep throaty sound. The exhaust housing is a 5 bolt, there are 5 bolt flanges for these, let me know if you need one. Only thing is, they dont have the gasket for it, so im making one out of some good material i got from work.

I have a 5 bolt flange with a 3" downpipe and it fits fine. I am also running 3" all the way with no resonator, no cat, and a magnaflow muffler - it isn't that loud at all.
