RE: ...Exhaust-Check it out
So you made an exhuast leak on purpose? Why would you ever want your exhaust gases to come out under your car. Thats how **** gets burned and bad
things happen.
things happen.

no clue, never heard of them.
I'm not so sure there is much difference between the aftermarket exhausts, as long as they aren't built internally like the stock exhaust. They're all 'transverse' bodies, which means exhaust flow is making some serious direction changes. I guess it's all about sound.
I cut my muffler off a week ago. It resonates pretty bad right now, but I think that's mainly because it exits under the car. I still need to fab pipe to get it to the back of the car. I'm reusing stock tips, I like how they look.
I cut my 35 lb double walled muffler apart last night. First thing it does is 'T' (big restriction) then flows to the ends of the muffler, reverses flow back thru (restriction) a perforated tube packed with steelwool and layered with fiberglass, and exits the muffler to the tips thru an opening that's really probably only 2" (big restriction).
Give that muffler a shot if you dont think $500 isnt much for an exhaust. I haven't spent a dime on mine yet, and I guarantee it flows better than any muffler on the market. ; )

RE: ...Exhaust-Check it out
For starters, it exits behind the door, which is all it takes to be legal, and if you read the whole thing, I'm building it back out to the stock tips, I'm waiting on some mandrel bent tubing.
And after running the car like this for a week, I can tell you that there really hasn't been any safety concerns. No exhaust smell in the car, no hot spots in the floor. It still exits under the aluminum heat shield that sits above the muffler.
Don't worry. I'm a professional. heheh.
