At least not w/o the tubing making a hard turn to get there.How will it sound? Like a tractor, just like all 2.3T's. It will just be louder to everyone on the driver side of the car. Quote Selected

You'll probabaly have to use a bullet-type ler if you want to package it with a cat and make the turn. And it won't be quiet, and it will drone under your seat the entire time... Quote Selected
turbocoupe side exhaust ? Reply #6 – July 21, 2009, 03:55:22 PM I say,in my own opinion,keep the exhaust out the back.I always thought that,for most cars,side exhaust looks like the cheap way out,incomplete.......for most cars,ours included. Quote Selected

turbocoupe side exhaust ? Reply #8 – July 21, 2009, 05:34:11 PM ok thanks for your help. i didnt put into consideration how loud it would be dumping out right beside me. should i go 3 inch to the ler, then dual 2.5 running out the back? Quote Selected
turbocoupe side exhaust ? Reply #9 – July 21, 2009, 06:46:00 PM Single 3inch gives the best flow, duals give the best look, they both sound great. Doesnt really sound like a tractor if you have lers.If you dont have emissions ditch the cat. Quote Selected

A single 3" or dual 2.5" tails is not going to affect power output for 99% of 2.3T folks. Quote Selected
