turbo cars dont need cat backs!!! all he really needs is a dump to be effiecent but for legalness then he would need a pipe to exit the body so a split into 3' is a good setup

I believe MAC makes a 3" cat-back as well. MAC is supposed to be louder than the new flowmaster delta flows if sound is what ur going after as well.

I want it to sound more perfomance than loud cuz in my opinion if the car is just loud it sounds horrible so yeah something like flowmasters . Right now I have just some dynomax mufflers only 2.5' exhuast so it sounds pretty quiet

I have them too. Don't be suprised by how quiet they are at idle. They roar at WOT. I can hear my wife driving it about 2 minutes befoire she arrives. SHe got a heavy foot. I am however changing to the all stainless exhaust from MAC..its supposed to be real loud. Anyway if your looking for a "peformance" sound as opposed to a rumble I suggest you get an o/r x-pipe. The sound is loud but more exotic than an H-pipe IMO.
