i run a s475 with banks intercooler pipes. I had to cut a pie out of the pipe on the hot side and tig weld it back together. IIRC it had to be shorter cause the turbo was bigger.

That Banks pipe doesn't fit very well on a nonstock turbo. Mine was on an HTT, too short and the bends weren't right, it banged just like yours. A custom pipe is the best way. Trent built me one that fits perfectly. The bottom end is only about an inch from the intercooler, plenty of clearance with the booster housing, and the top is straight inline to the turbo.
