Main point is I would like tonlwave as much of the stock system in as possible since I am not going to be pushing that much power trough the car I just want better flow without too much sound difference. Any help would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the dump with most probably require porting work on your turbo. These exhaust are good enough to flow these little turbos till they max out at about 320ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if you wanna go over 320 you'll need a bigger turbo..However if you've got a sedan the general consensus is to replace the middle muffler with a hotdog to get a better note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
