That would be cool but I was suggesting something a bit more
conventional.
Why waste your money on an aftermarket exhaust system? Just get a custom
bent 60mm stright pipe of aluminized steel from the cats on back. No
mufflers. It will be cheaper than ANY aftermarket muffler you can find,
provide more power, will not affect emissions so you're still smog-safe,
and your car will not be too loud. And if you want it to look cool, you
can have them weld a chromed tip on the end.
This wouldn't work for non-turbo cars, but since your car is a turbo you
might as well enjoy the advantages.
