I have one... Kinda collectors item but fits well under a stock turbo heat shield. Flow is decent but most go with a Terry Houston down pipe or that style. I wouldn't be afraid to run it. Make sure it's a 3" they make 2.5 and 3" I believe.
 
This is a Bowling Green Customs 3". I'll sell it if you are interested

The BGC pipe flows well and is neat that it will fit under a stock cover but is heavy compared to a Houston style pipe. I have never seen a 2.5 version with the large cast elbow.
 
I use .one....I unfortunately received mine near the end of there run as a business and it had a hole in it ....sent it back and the same issue. Being a fabricator and welder I repaired it with inconel welding rod then ground off he BGC . LOL . But I like it and had no further issues. But you will need a down pipe specifically for that elbo.
 
I found a BGC for $400 with downpipe. My TH style one is screwed up, someone milled the surface like 25mm and the puck jams open and I just need to get it back going for my wedding. It also won’t seal without the downpipe being almost 1/2 inch off the housing of the turbo because of the milling. I have the stock one I can run temporarily. I would rather run a TH style they’re just more expensive to replace.

Do you like it? How much power are you making? I like the idea of the nostalgia of it, but would be worried about the flow compared to a TH style. Obviously it won’t be as good but it looks like it has decent flow. I also like the stock style downpipe, as it fits very nice compared to the one I have currently

Running a TA engine with a 62/65 turbo with about 500 hp....no issues with flow. Yes I like it. After reviewing your nice combo you will have no issues in my opinion. Regards

I have a shiney brand new 6262 to replace the old te62 and a new converter too👀
 
The bgc 3 inch is more than capable of flowing 10 sec power
I would jump on that 200 offer😉
Already in the process. Ive seen on forums of people running 10's with a stock elbow and downpipe. Sounds like the stock elbow is the main issue as its a horrid 90 degree bend off the turbo exit which is horrible for flow. Plus having a cool piece of buick history on my car is always neat
