[urq] Exhaust options

[Rich Letsinger]

Ken,

I'm 3" back from a 200 downpipe.  The shop cut the
downpipe at the vertical part and welded on a 2.5" 90
degree bend, then flared it out to 3".  It then has a
3" cat (or a test-pipe), goes back and over the
passenger side halfshaft with a 3" muffler in the
stock location and a simple single 3" outlet.  The
shop wrestled for a while getting it right going over
the halfshaft without hitting anything, but they did
it.

Sounds MEAN.  And it opened up things a lot better
than the temporary deal I had before.  When I put the
engine in I used band clamps to connect the 3B
downpipe cut halfway down to the stock urq system.  It
passed smog that way, and sounded nice.  But when the
3" went in the turbo spooled lower and the car was
much faster.
