you have to custom make it. and be warned, it will sound like absolute **** if you don't use mufflers, which is hard to fit on something like that.

you can't compare the exhaust note on a turbocharged car to either a n/a or supercharged car. a turbo totally changes the exhaust note. srt-4's also don't have a muffler. try getting away with that on our car, good luck.

it's your car, so if it's something you want to do go for it. but it will be obnoxious loud, raspy as all hell, with a mix of bees in a coffee can.

uhm shouldnt be to hard... or you can use additional resonators. but i'm curious about what your going to do about the hole cut in the lower back bumper for the original exhaust... why not do electronic cut out?AND use your stock exhaust?

If you left the Cat in, and put one of these where the resonator is under the car then turned it out to the side, I bet it would sounds pretty good.

Everything I've ever put a borla on has sounded great.

I think that clip was just a straight pipe and with no turbo or any kind of restriction its way too loud and ricy/raspy.

I am going with a dual side exit setup for my car and it is all custom.
The difference for me is that we are raising the floor and giving our selves the room to put in the piping.
We will be using mufflers and the original exit hole will be filled in urethane and custom billet grills will be made to even out the back.

to be electronic cut out if the best way to go... you get the best of both worlds.

Quite a few Redlines have it done, they use Magnaflow mufflers and it sounds great! Search redlineforums for some videos, Im getting it done with an Apexi WS2 muffler next week, so it will sound really good. Im losing the GMPP

I have it. LOL.

W/ a cutout too. weird how when I do it everyone thinks its stupid but when you have a diagram with a neat flash video its wicked cool.

I think it sounds sick. But thats just me. I don't have a cat or muffler. I very rarely drive with the cutout open. But, when I do everyone knows it. Let me see if I can find some videos.

Here are 2 outside the car with no cat^^

^^Here is a crappy one inside the car with no cat. You can hear it until the Evo's exhaust is right near the camera

^^here is one right beside it reving w/ a cat
