The oil drain on the turbo. I bought a flange to attach the 1/2" hose to. It is aluminum and it's mounting holes are too large for the bolts that hold it in place. I had ordered some sleeve bushings to take up the extra room.
The second time I dealt with the kid, had no problem with him. It was the guy Eddie that forgot to order them after he called Atlanta to verify they were in stock. The sad thing is I think Eddie is the manager.

Miles,
I'm running a giant azz school bus muffler.
Dual 2 1/2" in and 3" out.
Due to the way the baffles are welded I don't think it's directional...
(certainly there are no 'in' or 'out' arrows on it)
How much sound are you looking for???
Bear River makes some inexpensive all stainless welded case mufflers that feature 3"--> 2 1/2" dual.

As for the pipe you need, things are getting tougher these days.
Years ago parts stores had vast selections just hanging on hooks in back.
You could browse, finding something with the right diameter and bend that just needed the other end cut off.
Nowadays, with everything in a warehouse, and a counter guy that doesn't know anything about what he's selling, it's going to be tough to get it right.
You're probably better off going to a muffler shop with a pipe bender and someone who knows how to use it.

Jannetty Racing in Waterbury is where I've gone.
Last I was there (years ago) they only had fittings (like a plumbing store selection) and a swager for straight pipe; as I recall back then they were not set up to do mandrel bends.
