custom exhaust (lemans style)
I have a buddy who owns an exhaust shop , he does lots of custom work for evo's and sti's etc. we were bs'ing the other nite and he mentioned how sick it would be to put a lemans style side pipe on my car and asked if I would let him do it . I was just wondering what you guys thought . the sizes we were discusing were 2.5in pipe from the header into a magnaflow cat then flaring out into a 3in stainless tip right in front of the back tire on the drivers side .

ehhhh...i'd be kinda iffy on that. remember lemans cars are pushing a lot more exhaust through and make it sound sick. Idk how it would really sound on a 4-banger like ours. plus, you will probably lose performance because of the extreme lack of back pressure...rule of trhumb: excessive exhaust flow != performance

well option two was to go with a magnaflow cat and then a magnaflow tubular muffler after the cat to create more back pressure , backpressure was an issue I mentioned to him right away . he seems to think it will be ok and I trust him he has made some pretty sick exhaust set ups on alot of 4 bangers
