Downpipe is 3" from the turbo back. It will not bolt up to a factory exhaust, but it will (probably) end in the same location so if you have a 3" turbo catpipe and exhaust that ends in the OEM location already, it will bolt up.
Forgot to mention - Inconel hardware and stage 8s will be standard on every kit we sell.

I should have the first couple of pre-production manifolds in my hands next week. We will need to put some test miles on them before I start officially taking orders, but that should be done by February.
The initial package will be the manifold, turbo, downpipe, and likely a turbo crane. We will probably not offer the manifold/downpipe without a turbo, and pricing will be released when we're ready to take money for them. The standard turbo will be the 6258, which is good to ~325whp, and the option turbo will be the 6758 which will stretch to 400whp.

It sounds like the manifold & downpipe will work with either turbo such that we can upgrade later without changing those parts?

Is AF building the manifolds? I've been curious about the design you went with.

The cost of doing a tubular manifold the way Iwant it done is cost prohibitive, so I'm exploring some other options. I'll post more about it when I have some renderings/pictures to share. The good news is that the delay allows me to roll the rest of the kit out with the manifolds, so there won't be any delay if you want to buy a full kit from me later in the year.

Had to Sub again :/
I can't wait to get my hands on the hardware.
I'm getting my internals together right now in prep to rebuild my motor. [Rods, pistons, acl bearings, walboro255, superdamper, flywheel, full ARP and what not; you know the typical set up]
Shouldn't be to long after that I get this ERF hardware to slap on there too to get ride of this pathetic MSM turbo.

Will you be offering any sort of package deal on forged internals if bought with a turbo kit?
Thanks,
