Depending on your exhaust pipe size, a 14X9X4 oval, center in/center out fits nicely.

Stock piping is 1-7/8" OD. You might wish to upgrade to 2, 2-1/4 piping. Go to Borla's website, find the muffler you want, then search eBay for that part# for the best price. None of this will help much unless you're running headers.

Do you mean like a Ture Dual Exhuast set-up? I've heard that those sound very strange...

Or are you just talking about a Y pipe that ends in two seperate mufflers?

That is a Borla Pro XS.

EDIT: I have seen/heard that car run in person, and with the XS and header only it is LOUD.

Avoid Pacesetter, they're complete junk. Stick with a Racing Beat header.

Nope, as I said before, center in, center out. Keep looking.
