I really like the setup and haven't been able to locate them online just yet.

I promise I am not stealing his build, lol. But what is this exhaust setup?

I like this short stubby exhaust, but I am not sure what the second smaller exhaust is above it, does anyone know?

Furthermore, what would prevent someone from dropping coins or something in there? I would have to find some sort of solution to ease my mind on that end

The second smaller exhaust is plumbed to the waste gate.
Some people plumb this into the main exhaust, and run it thru a muffler,
but if you want to hear the waste gate... this is the way to go. Turbo noises are great!

I'll have to look more into this, I'd love to hear the turbo spool up

Wastegate is not spool up. It’s the woosh when you let off the throttle.

Technically, you described the blow-off valve, which resides on the intake side. The wastegate is on the exhaust side of a turbo setup.

The blow-off valve releases the intake pressure at throttle close. The wastegate regulates the pressure on the exhaust side and releases pressure that exceeds a specific pressure (defined by the wastegate spring or boost controller). Both help your turbo live a long and productive life.

Fabricated the flange from 1/4 stainless. The 'muffler' and tip are stainless, with dual stainless vortex inserts to make it 'quiet'. :cool:
Let me be more clear: the O2 housing is a stainless ZZP purchase. The flange on the muffler, that attaches to the O2 housing, is what I fabricated from 1/4 inch stainless plate (burned up a couple 3 inch hole saws). The 'muffler is a Dynomax 6 inch body fiberglass pack and the tip is a dual wall bought off Amazon. The vortex cones welded into the 'muffler' and tip are from ZZP. It meets my needs for a custom exhaust that fits into the frame modifications I made that would not allow the stock DF exhaust to be installed. :)

I found the easiest way to get a short stubby exhaust is to buy a flange and then weld a couple pipes together. It worked well but I didn't like how short it was so I added a tip to extend it out a little and make it a little wider plus it gives it a nice angle.
