There's such a thing as going to big on exhaust diameter.. 2.25 is fine for stock or even SC power output (200 crank). Any bigger and you increase cost, dB level, weight and decrease room to route it.

Oh no i've decided on 2.25 inch piping. I'm worried about the Muffler Itself being too big that pipingi t would be impossible.

The muffler you want will not fit straight out, but it might fit at an angle, but becareful with the pipe going to the muffler. It has to go under the frame in the rear.

And thats the lowest point of the car.

Hope this helps.

Yeah that helps alot, also is it a wise idea to remove the resonator while i am messing with the exhaust system? OR should i leave it and make it a axle-back?

I dont want the sounds to be sooo unbearable that all cops are watching me. But at the same time i also wants to have slight gains in power.

For the $260 they will remove the cat in the middle and replace it with a pipe of the same diameter and the magnaflow muffler.

I did not think a shop was able by law to remove a cat from a car, that is still going to be driven on the street :?:

Florida used to force drivers to have their cars pass a pollution inspection a few years ago. We don't have inspections anymore

I see, Im in the north of AZ so we dont have any smog test at all. I was just asking that because I know some places do.

I've got Gabes (Stylis) Exhuast on my TC, and I cant complain! It sounds nice!! and I def. feel the power. Only thing I recommend is getting the pipes welded 2gether instead of clamps. But its up 2 you. I have pics on my website if you need some..Also I will be making a vid clip of the exhaust this weekend!

I have all my systems as clamp ons', that way the customer can do it them selves to save on money. The xB axle back is a bolt on though, no clamping needed.
