Default JDM twinscroll downpipe, restrictive design a dealbreaker?

One of the last bits of my build is the exhaust, is this restriction going to really hinder performance on the dyno when I get a pro-tune?
If so I will have to get it cut and reweld from a shop. Has anyone stayed with this design?

I ran the stock JDM twinscroll downpipe on a Ver8. Stock everything and made ~280whp/272wtq. That might be backwards, it might've been 272whp/280wtq. Either way, that's about what it made with the stock turbo/downpipe and an e-tune on the dyno.

Are you swapping to some big glorious twinscroll turbo, or running the stock one?

What engine?

Does your jdm downpipe have the same design where it gets more restrictive like mine? Not sure if this is a common design for all of them

I honestly don't remember. I did the swap ~8 years ago. If you're really worried about it, when you bring the car in for exhaust work to have the DP lengthened (I'm assuming that's a JDM length DP), have the shop match the larger size. It's not going to make a noticable difference, but you'll feel better.

You may give up 5whp with the factory donut gasket taper.
