After taking off my cat to get room to put the DP on.. i came to find out it was ALREADY GUTTED. I thought that was pretty funny myself... anyway.. I had thought the extreme boost drop (a good 5psi!) when my exhaust was bolted up was due to the cat.. and now I see that my dual 2.25" pipes (no mufflers) were just too small... everyone should keep that in mind...
anyway.. what im planning on doing now is removing the 2.25" system completely. Then getting dynomax race magnum bullet, and putting it inside the cat shell (ooo.. sneaky..) because some cops around here have been looking for cats and writing tickets.. anyway, so that would be my ATR dp clamped to a 2.5 to 3" uhh.. reducer.. welded to a 3" in out 12" long race magnum bullet.. then just a weld on a small turnout on the end of the muffler to get the sound out from under the car. I cant see that setup producing any backpressure at all...
the other solution would be a single 3" exhaust going straight back over the axle and out the side.. however this 3" would NOT be mandrel so I dont know if that'd be a big problem.. afterall the dp is 2.5" so as long as the pipe was still 2.5" in the bends.. it *should* be alright.. right?
any ideas guys? Also id like to know if someone knows the legality (in texas) of an exhaust that exits before the rear tire.. afterall ford trucks for a bout 2 years had exhaust exiting right there... id assume itd ok for my car (except the fact my cat is empty, ha!)
anyway.. thanks guys.
