Aftermarket Up-pipe or Factory one...?
I bought a Stainless Steel up-pipe on New Zealand's e-bay equivalent. To cut a long story short, it didn't show up (after I had paid for it), for two months! I then bought a factory up-pipe which has had the heat shields removed and been heat wrapped. I'm in too minds on which to fit... If I fit the SS pipe, it appears I need to machine my turbo exhaust housing to suit! Or I could just fit the factory pipe to get rid of my leak... 
Has anyone had to machine / die grind their turbo exhaust housing to suit an up-pipe...?
Factory pipe ID (inside diameter) - 45.5mm
SS ID - 64.5mm
Factory pipe ID (inside diameter) - 47mm
SS ID - 55mm

dont fit that up-pipe, if you want to kill you turbo spool up time as the pipe is just to big, fit the standard one and be done with it, and sell the bling bling one on ebay it will sell easy.

Bit like,cutting the end out of a mcdonals milk shake carton and blowing thru that and then using the straw that came with it and blowing thru that,which has more umph ?
Or,when you 1st met your missus the feeling you got when givin her one,then the feelin you get after 6 kids later LOL
