Anyone Make a Homemade Downpipe for the factory turbo?

Just wondering if anyone has made a downpipe or had a downpipe made instead of just buying one.

Howdy
Thought about it.
BUT....the factory made ones are fairly cheap and trying to duplicate the performance gains is difficult because of finding a mandrel bending machine that will handle the bigger pipe.
If it was just to duplicate the factory size and limitations then it would be fairly easy. I think summit(or many other places) sells the weld on flange that is needed for the base of the turbo.

Thanks. I just checked out some prices online and found one for 65.00. That's pretty cheap. I was going to go 4" exhaust under the truck. I am going to do the exhaust myself.
