Other than clearance on LHD, may be timing?

Good point. I was wondering the same thing. Not room enough to make the two outlets the same length, like with a good set of tuned/equal length extractors, so they do this? The proof with power will be on the dyno & the 1/4. Not sure if there's any other issue they're trying to negate like back pulses feeding back to the turbine wheel(s).

Correct, Its called crash clearance so if the car is involved in a crash the engine can move on its mounts etc causing damage to other components. But the clearance is excessive and not needed.

Would solid or less flexible engine/gearbox mounts be a good fit with this mod? |

If there is no change in the speed and volume of gas flowing through this section then it doesn't matter what shape it is. In any case, the car I saw being prepped for racing will have a non crimped pipe fitted. |

old thread but lucky i found it. I searched quite a bit, gave up, photographed my dodgy outlet pipe, was just about to post and ask, then i found this thread!
it is good to know that it is as per design, but hard to believe it wouldn't have some affect on performance at some point. my question: does anyone have a before and after dyno mod example of this yet? (that didnt also have a ton of other mods done at the same time). r. |

Why cant that section just be cut off and some silicon pipe used to fill the gap? That seems the easiest and would negate the supposed crash effect of welding in the sections as shown

What kind of temperature tolerance would it have to have to pass mm from an exhaust manifold at 900+ degrees C and hold up long term? Silicone hose burst pressure is typically halved at it max temp resistance point. You've got internal heating from the turbo charge air temp and external heating from the exhaust manifold(s) - I'd much prefer ceramic costed metal piping, especially over the long run.
