Default What TBE to switch to for EWG?

I had bad creep issues with my IWG SZ49 so ordered an Element tuning UP with a Tial 38mm EWG and SMC meth kit. Since the EWG won't fit my TXS stealthback I am looking for a new TBE. I was Just thinking about denting the DP but I have the older version where it tapers to 2.5" at the muffler.

Cost is not a factor but I really don't want a canted muffler. I really like the HKS carbon Ti and JIC full Ti but I am not a huge fan of canted muffler. So anyone that knows If the APS 3.5" will fit with the element UP or maybe the Invidia G200 TBE please let me know.

I am running Tial 44mm with an APS 3.5" and an APS UP. We had to do some fab work in order to get the EWG to work with the UP seeing as the wastegate diameter was bigger than the UP, but it all fits real well.

So what you're saying is you want to plumb the EWG into the DP, right? I'm not surewhat you're talking about when you say don't want a canted muffler. I know a good welder will be able to use the dp you have. I replaced my factory header with an APS equal length header, had a EWG welded to the aps uppipe and had it plumbed to my Invidia DP, which connects to my Greddy Evo 2.

LOL I have not heard that word in a long time it's something West Indians say "canted", meaning angled, leaning. So in other words he means the angled mufflers or cans, pointing off to one side!
