I see what he is trying to do. I also see the logic in it, but just don't think the ribbed larger pipe hurts it all that much as it has to go through that smaller turbo mounted one. I suppose there would be some turbulence but I don't think it's all that detrimental.
Yes BigTorque, air is a fluid. Turbulence is bad. If the ribs are bugging ya, get an AIS or pipe it. Money better spent.

I was thinking some double walled pipe but I see you already got the pipe. You coulda cut the outer wall back ehuff to get the hose clamps on and that would have given you some dead air space for insulation. Hmmmm how to insulate it and still make it look good????

I believe he wanted the big ribbed portion on the right gone altogether.
You have a setup just like mine, or I have one like yours.
What is that extra clamp and funny looking boot on your hot side pipe? That looks different. Is that stock?
