PS 3 inch exhaust from DP all the way back to a catalytic and then angled to the passenger side.

I am turbocharged so I expect it to be a bit quieter than a NA car.

Yea Definatley get something on there to quiet it down. Not only will you be going deaf from the exhaust, im sure the tickets youll be getting will make you wish you had.
When i recently fixed the mx the first time i took it out and made it 100 feet before i was pulled over.

I love open DP. :twisted:
