the bumpers are exactly the same from 04 to 05, not sure what you're referring to there. if you get a side exit just roll the back bumper.

a cat isn't a big deal. i have emissions testing every year and i pass with no cat. as long as you have a stage ecu it doesn't throw a code and that's all the obd machine cares about. you just need to find a shop that's not going to be retarded and actually look for everything lol.

 

so what do you do.. just cut it even from the top of the cut outs?

 

i thought they were dif, i havnt had the car long and just finding out things about them thanks for the correction.

 

AHH i found it on srtforums.

 

is there much diff between a side exit exhaust and regular exhaust??any advantage?

 

I'm installing the S.E.E saturday and I plan on just rolling the bumper until i get some dough to have it molded and re-sprayed. The advantage to the side exit is the exhaust has less pipe to travel through making it more free-flowing. According to the MaxxFab site, you can get more power out of the exhaust because of how free flowing it is. I also like the idea that it is simply different than what you normally see on the road. With the o2 housing and the turbo back side exit exhaust I believe the dyno numbers on the site were showing gains of almost 20hp. Or maybe it was written in the 'Exhaust for Dummies' section on there...

 

damn deff getting that exhaust then.....does maxxfab sell the tips separate?

 

So if I got a stage 3 and a catless turbo back and code scrubber, I would pass emissions? They do them in Ohio but I never had a car there since I bought mine from base. I don't know how strick it is.

 

The exhaust comes with an oval tip, 5inches x 2.5 or 3, or something like that. The tip is welded on and looks pretty nice. Were you wanting a different one or something?

 

Well I would have liked to have my own tips on the maxxfab. I wanted to know if they were welded and if the were how hard would be to change them for different ones.
