So Rich what made you go with this instead of the HKS you were talking about?

Any my girlfriend always tells me it's not the size, it's how you use it!

You have your car up North or here in Florida? I'd like to see your set up, and maybe get a friendly run

Do you guys have any sound clips of the 4" exhausts? Is it a high pitched tinny sound or deep rumble? Also, whats the total amount the parts for the complete exhaust cost?

It will be a DEEP loud tone.

When I had my 3 1/2" turbo back single (just one muffler at tip) it was a very loud deep tone that sounded GREAT, just too loud. It had a clear tone as the sound was not mixed up in resonators or baffles.

It was the kind of deep loud tone that would make you fall over from messed up equilibrium if you leaned over near the rear of the vehicle as happened to my friend

I have noticed the "tininess" from systems that have small pipes w/ high exhaust velocity dumping into larger piping.

you can run massive power through small exhausts. But i remember a valid point that was mentioned in a similer post..... You need large exhaust to release the heat, otherwise you can get premature turbo failure and other turning issues assciated with heat.

It's not the size of the boat, but the motion in the ocean? Bull **** i'd like to see a row boat make it to london from Ney York. I'd go bigget than 3" iof you're running more than 25psi or 450rwhp. those are just generalizations when it's needed. your turbo will spool sooner if you switch now. May be just 200 rpm sooner, but 200 rpm is 200 rpm!!
