I removed my middle muffler when it rusted out. It sounded great but was only temporary as the flex pipe rusted through and the rest of the system was in poor shape also. So I bought the 3" downpipe, racecat, and 2.5" catback as well as a nordic stage 3 ecu. This added 50 hp and 70 ft-lbs of torque. And to me it sounds just right.

Car sounds nice! completely off topic now, i see you got your black bumper things painted the color of the car, i have the exact same car in silver and i was wondering how you did it, and if professionally how much? thanks!
yes i painted the door rub strips and the front and rear bumper covers. i did it myself with a hvlp gun/compressor to apply the base coat / clear coat. total cost was $275.
hey so i was wondering do you have a forge diverter valve in your car by change because i just installed one in mine and i was just curious on whether or not my car would sound like yours or not once i get that exhaust?
no i don't have a forge diverter on my car. the exhaust would sound the same however if you also have an open intake you will hear alot more of the intake and turbo sounds as well.
thanks man. it sound so sick. does it make your car like shake in the inside when you rev up? cause my friends car did that and it was super annoying when riding in it.
yea I am very happy with the sound. at idle there is a bit more vibration I think because the downpipe has one flex section vs two on the stock system but absolutely no vibs when revving up.
Could have done the paint job for 50 bucks having some factory match mixed up and put into a spray can :/

Hi bondox,
I ordered the parts from genuinesaab. I had them installed in the sho for $150. You could install it yourself especially if you only get the catback.

hey where did you order your parts from? did you half to have an autoshop install the stuff for you and if so was it expensive?
