Default I see APR has gone with a cast downturn outta the hot side

as opposed to SS bent to shape...maybe the transmission of heat has something to do with it...looks like a better method...staying cast all the way to the flex joint..less opportunity for different expansion times with the metals...therefore studs, nuts and bolts acking out/breaking etc etc.

I see me just bolting on that turbo and having a custom tune done to my car eventually

It's Inconel (high-temperature nickel alloy)...supposedly disperses heat very quickly

My bolts backed out/broke, but that was early on. Safety wires...

Neither, just found a pic on the web. I'm not savvy enough with software to pull that off :-)

Default I understand that...but my point was they first used 2 dissimilar metals with different heat

handling properties back when I beta tested this kit...
Glad to see the change
