Looks great. Does it have baffles inside or is it two tanks combined?

I'm envious of your time or time management skills, I have had bushings under my table since early January.

You should really do those bushings. They made a massive difference in my car. Yes it's like two combined and there are baffles and filters through out. It's pretty cool :)

Its far to big to be anything except the exhaust tip or intake pipe.

I'm guessing some form of intake piping (somewhere between turbo and throttle?)


My only thought is why the large curves? it seems the ends are only offset from each other slightly, so wouldn't a simple S bend have been easier and had better flow (assuming of course it's for a part where flow is wanted)
