Have a flange so you can always open it right up to get that sweet open d/p tune when you wish to

i finally fixed my exhaust after running open downpipe for 4-5 months that ended right under my shift linkage, the only time it is noticeable is sitting still

I thoght if you ran a cherry bomb glass pack it makes you exhaust sound louder. My hole thing is trying to quiet it down.

im planning on dumping under the center of my car just like the thread starter, but i was simply going to use a resonator right after the downpipe and then finish the 2.5" piping back to the spot of the dump.....is that going to be ridiculously loud or should i find a different method??

dumping under the car will make it seem much louder inside, but it won't be as loud outside. not exactly quiet by any means

The turbo acts as a bit of a muffler, and with a resonator won't be as loud as an na car with just a res/glasspack etc. Still not quiet like other ppl have said.

I think it really depends on what your standards of loud are.I live in a city with jack asses with Chevy trucks that have headers and dual glasspacks for exhaust so to me a downpipe to glass pack to side exit turndown was not very loud at all.I used the longest glasspack they had which was 24" i believe or close to that and it really sounded nice when it was new but they wear out quick. My car was much quiter then the average rice mobile with no cat and a fart can.

I plan on using a magna flow or a dynomax, something thats deep and quite. It'll have a turn down so it can be mounted higher behind the bumper and painted black. I don't want my exhaust attracting any attention.
