This would be cool....if it were a track only car. I am curious to hear it though just because it isn't my car. I think the back bumper would look funny with the cutouts for an exhaust that are now empty...

You should remove the intake so the weight distribution isn't screwed up.

You won't be autocrossing it anymore without an exhaust. Those events have sound restrictions.

Actually, cutting the stock exhaust just before the rear axle is a common autocross mod that has passed SCCA National sound rules. Of course, those that have done it installed V-Band clamps so they can put the mufflers back on for a sane ride home.

From the other folks I have talked to the cut off usually registers about 97 decibels about 50 ft on WOT, so should be OK for most of the events I run in. I hear the San Diego spot is very strict on their sound limits...I think it has to be less than 93 or so?

Anyhow, just wanted to share my enthusiasm for the car!
