well i wanted louder and saw the info on http://www.tpsgarage.com/ for removal of stockers and using some 45* and 90* bends to make it look good/ line up right.

im going with... a magnaflow hiflow cat (already installed) and right after followed by a cherrybomb "muffler" or glass pack, its semi legal so whatever. also some nice reactive tips which are a great fit in the stock location (a tad bigger then stock)... anyways its getting installed tomoorw and ill get a video up i guess (this post is in request of 93luminaz34/ matt shantz) as well as some installed pics....

heres some pics for now, the piping is just sorta layed out somehat what it will be like (not 100% sure on the bends)











tried to show that the tips are the same height (like dead on) and they are a little wider, hard to do when not off car

Kuntzie,

    Looks good, I will be curious to know if your boost level goes down.

thomas, i can really fell a difference in the spool time, as for boost it seems to be less by about 1 psi, but i got a boost controller so can easily be fixed

some install pics/ pre install pics and a short video before my camera battery died





it got dark outside, but heres a quick idea


and a nice short video/soundclip

Sounds good, the only thing I would do is paint the inside of the exhaust tip black so you don't see the plate at the back of the tip.

Looks a lot like my exhaust tips....well, mine are the entire muffler but yeah, same tips.  Different exhaust sound thats for sure, quite a bit higher pitched than mine

The stock exhaust probably flows better...

i cant see how the stock exhaust would flow better for the lollowing reasons

1. with a flashlight at one end of the exhaust (the end of the cherrybomb), out the exhaust tip you can seel the light
2. gained about 1.5 psi
3. quicker turbo spool
4.the whole straight through exhaust = no baffles
