They used a set up for racing on the Rothmans cars that exited out the driver side.
Very noisy, even for racing I have been told by one whom raced in the series.
But guess what my race set up will be with a resonator in place where the cat goes?
On your turbo it should be quieter, but still make an interesting howl when on the loud pedal.

Thanks skip. Well I was thinking of putting a borla in place of the cat, just not sure how to hang it or where I can get the pipe made.

i have heard that exhaust gasses can be pretty corrosive to alloy rims and to brake pads. not sure if it's true, though. also i beleive it is illegal per DOT to have exhaust exit in front of any passenger seating so if you, like me, end up in one of those states full of commie liberals you might have trouble passing an inspection.

Okay, I'm gonna get flamed for this but this idea is strictly "Dukes of Hazard" crap.

What's next? Stacks behind the cab like Good 'Ol Boys? Flying the Bars & Stars?

Flame away boys.

Dukes of Hazard! Ho Ho!

When I was in college I had a red '66 Baracuda... you know, the one with the huge fishbowl back window. I always wanted to paint a Chinese flag on the roof and stencil the name "General Yee" on the side. Woulda been good for a larff. Never did it because the thing was rarely ever running, which chewed up a lot of my energy and cash.

And just so everybody's real clear on this, I am not now, nor have I ever been, nor would I ever be, a member of the communist party, a fellow traveler, or a commsimp. Just a smartass.

I always wanted to call my car the "Generally".

I knew a guy in Atlanta that had one of the many original "Dukes of Hazard" Chargers used in production and he painted it black over the original Duke boy paint job.
