I'm sure MagnaFlow (and other vendors) will post dyno charts showing an increase in hp, blah, blah...for most modern turbocharged vehicles, there is minimal performance gain from a catback. It is typically the downpipe and cat where the cheaper bends of OEM exhaust piping seriously holds back performance of the turbos. Everything downstream of the cat is mostly for sound. But at least in this case, it can be for sound and better clearance when off roading.I don't know a lot about exhaust upgrades so sorry if this is a stupid question... but are there any performance or MPG improvements or is this truly just for sound?
A cat less down pipe is going to turn the volume up by a lot. It’s also gunna be pretty stankydunno much about exhaust but this is what he said in the comments
"SPD Performance Catless downpipes with MBRP 4” exhaust and a BOOMBAracing BOV"
Nothing says being outdoor communicative with nature like a loud cantaloupe exhaust system.It always makes me laugh thinking about people getting a louder exhaust…but also complaining about how loud the cabin is
They appear to be Fifteen52 analog...that actually sounds good.

WHAT WHEELS ARE THOSE
This is configuration #4, which is simply the cap off the muffler.So which configuration was that, 1-4?
@flynh3 I'm curious if you ended up doing the cut to the U pipe and the results?Put one on last week...changed the resonators around and checked the sounds...so after some thought, going to cut the U pipe at a 45 angle...it exits nicely off to the side. Toss the resonator. Now instead of sounding like a souped up Singer sewing machine, it might sound a little throatier...sure don't want it to sound like a Subaru. Take a look at my scribbles and notes on the install sheet...
I'm not sure this item is worthy of an install...if you are looking for a V-8 sound...remember it's 2.7 with a 10 speed tranny...I'll keep you posted on progress.
