how much does this help the car? will it help with hp or tq? and im planning on adding a side exit exhaust, is this any good? i heard it was loud but thats fine my old neon was loud so.. but does anybody know if this system sounds good or what? and just to ask should i get the exhaust with or without the hi flow cat?

 

only problem with side exit is clearance, especially if your lowered. plus it just kind of sits there on it's own. i would just leave it out the rear 3", or use a cutout if you want to cut down on how far it has to travel

 

alright thanks man, im going to be lowered here soon but ive been working on power upgrades first stage 1, agp wastegate, bc, hard pipes, and a 3 in o2 housing so i need a exhaust really bad, the side exit really appealed to me when i saw it but if you cant lower the car then it wont work for me im probably going to lower it about 2.2 in the front and 2.4 in the back and make the spring a little stiffer to get it close to the tires without rubbing majorly bad.

 

I'm not so sure on the clearance issue. if you look on MaxxFab's page the cars on there are lower in stance as well. Also, the pipe is oval/oblong allowing for more ground clearance. I have been looking at this exhaust as well. They claim it is the most freeflowing exhaust on the market. Only problem I see is what to do with the cutouts in the rear fascia (personally not a fan of the rolled bumper look). And also the price..... You should email the guy at MaxxFab, he seems pretty nice and has responded quickly to my questions.
