Like I said in my first post, noise is not a factor. I only drive the car two or three times a month and that's only in the nicer months. It's a garage queen lol. 2003 with 46,000 miles on it oh yea. I bought it 5 years ago and it had like 35,000 miles on it so 11,000 miles in 5 years says how little it's driven.

If and I mean IF its too loud with just a downpipe, one of these will take the edge off of the loudness of the exhaust. It won't make it quiet by no means and it won't change tone or loudness over time because theres nothing to burn out that will let the exhaust change its tone. Its a race muffler so little to no back pressure. Moroso Spiral Flow Racing Mufflers in 3" or 3 1/2"

It's loud as f@#k. It's not even the noise or fumes, it's the constant vibration. It's mind numbing and I think is what lead to my Manifold cracking twice. But it shawwwww due sound goooood

First thing I'm doing when I get my manifold back on is heading to muffler shop. The V band on the downpipe makes it really easy to remove the exhuast for track days

i have my turn down about 6" past the trans. joey said he thinks the vibrations helped contribute to his manifold cracking. since mine is almost back to the rearend, i use a bunch of safety wire mounted to various spots to help support the weight of the rear section of the downpipe. hoping this helps relieve any pressure on the turbo manifold. even with that it still vibrates the car more than not turbo. but that is just because i have a big bws363 hanging off the side on the motor, lol

What about the exhaust cut out valve to open at X rpm surely that's better?
Would it help spool and power too.
I think I'll keep stock exhaust and install one of these.
I am going for the stock look too lol.
Cheers
