not match the sound. Nice choice. How loud is it at freeway speed?
the performance is the biggest differnce i have felt so far but i understand what your sayin. on the free way it is really quit at 60mph@1500 rpm. bu on the highway when the rpms step above that it starts to roar and when you left of the gas while cruising on the whole it buubbles amd crackles enough that you'd think i was shouting flames. u can kind of hear what i an talking about at the end of the video.

HPR has just a bunch of cats in their exhaust shop the same way they carry piping. their kind of universal i didnt have to order one that said it was for an xa or scion it was just around the same size as what we use. they had a coule sizes on display one was for v8 hot rod type the other was for trucks and the other was for imports so i guess its universal. because they welded and hung everything themselves so it'll fit no matter what.

yeah heres their website it should have all the info you need and their phone numnber as well. no i didnt lose any back pressure that i no of they made that clear to me when we were getting the exhuast done not to go to big 2.5 is ideal. and as for them cuting and fitting the way you want they can do all that. if ou get the high flow cat they also rplace the pipe right befor the cat so it isnt stock going in to it.But joe should be able to help you if you want the same type piping as i have just ask them to do it like the xa the resently did. as far as i no its the only xa that they have ever worked on.
