I-5 Turbo mufflers (for 4ktq)

[E Bavely]

Hello again...next question...

I've been trying to browse the archives for information about I-5 turbo
exhausts and mufflers for use on the upcoming 4ktq conversion.

I'm going to have a custom 2.5 inch system made for the car and wondered if
anyone had any advice as to which mufflers to use (or avoid).

In the interest of noise and the neighbors, I'm thinking I'm going to use
some kind of resonator (glasspack?) in the middle and then a Borla or
DynoMax in the rear. A bit of a growl is fine, but booming or "brappy" will
be a little too much to handle on a daily basis.

I thought I read a post a few months back about avoiding specific mufflers
(FlowMasters?) because they did not work well with the exhaust pulses of a
turbo engine's exhaust flow.  Any comments?  I can't seem to find the
original post.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...muffler measurements, inlet /outlet
offset info, brand names, model numbers, etc.

Thanks in advance.
