I would suggest that you look into 321 stainless for your exhaust (everything before the turbo) as 321 has better fatigue resistance due to high temp cycling. Get it here:http://www.burnsstainless.com/321sstubing.aspx

As some kind of a criticism/suggestion that's a little late, I would remove the paint from the caliper brackets on the clamping surfaces.
When I paint that sort of part, I mask the areas under bolt heads, etc, with round self-adhesive paper stickers from Staples.
The paint can collapse under the pressure from a bolt squeezing it. If this happens, then the bolted joint may become loose.[This message has been edited by pmbrunelle (edited 06-03-2017).]

it's powder coat, way tougher than paint. I'm not too worried about it, thanks for the suggestion though. I'll keep an eye on it.

Firstly, there's a decent chance that nothing will happen.
Now when I was younger and dumber, I painted the rear brake calipers of my first car (a Saturn SL2). Blissfully unaware of best practices, I spray bombed (shitty enamel that was definitely softer than powder coat) everything with impunity. The glossy red was what mattered!
A few days later, while driving home from work (a 15-mile freeway commute with traffic), I heard a "clunk" noise every time I applied the brakes. So I got off the road, and I discovered that my caliper bracket bolts had backed out about one turn. Having zero tools in the car, I finger-tightened the bolts, and continued on my way. I got home by finger re-tightening the bolts about every 3 miles...
So anyway, IF you happen to hear a clunk noise on braking, consider the loss in joint preload as a probable cause.
To say something good about the brackets, the generous concave corner radius on the raised 0.195" section is a nice detail.
