Aftermarket ones
Interested also in what mods need to be done to fit an ebay aftermarket supra dump. Slight change of angle im guessing. Also note most aftermarket ebay jobs are for left hand drive not sure how much difference it makes but something to consider i suppose. Surely its more cost effective to modifyva 200 dollar job thats "close" than to have a custom one done 700 plus

With stainless mandrel bends being so affordable these days it's easier/cheap to get a brand spanking new dump made up.
The stainless steel stuff from eBay is ok but factor shipping and its not as much a bargain. You can get the bends and pipe directly from wholesale suppliers that do commercial and industrial railing for a third of the price of what wholesale exhaust suppliers do them.

3.5inch is an odd ball size so it cost double what my 4 inch pipe cost.
If you want cheap pipes stick to 3 or 4 inch. I recommend 4 inch to everybody going single turbo. The increase in spool response and top end power is well worth it.
hmm 4 inch would be motomoto must be a tight fit in there hey. will have another go at convincing the local exhaust shop to make one. being in rural sa i only have one local fabricator. hes pretty good to me doesnt charge me to weld o2 sensor bungs in that kinda shit. but chatting with him hes been doin exhaust for 20 years and says hes happy plodding along fitting bolt on systems, but over the in/out/in/out/in type work.
other option is to make it out of plumbing pipe then take it to my boily mate and have him whip it up with stainless for a box of piss. hes a gun on the tig.
