Installed Borla 2.5" Cat-Back Single Outlet
For those of you contemplating going to 2.5" cat-backs as part of your S2 upgrade you might want to look at the Borla #14926 system. It eliminates the "octy-pipe" setup and has both tail-pipes exiting the drivers side. It is listed for the non-turboed PT but was a direct bolt-on for my 03 GT. I did not even have to cut the lower valence to make ropom for the twin tail-pipes. My car is lowered and there is still plenty of room for the 2.5" pipe as it goes over the rear-axle. All the Borla mufflers are a straight-through design and this thing doesn't sound any different than it did with my BTG muffler.
As far as the twin tail-pipes are concerned...there have been a number of threads concerned with the 1 3/4" octy-pipes on the Mopar cat-back for the turbos ( also made by Borla). Some of you have mentioned how the exhaust is always stronger on the short pipe side. The Borla 14926 system eliminates that problem since the twin 1 3/4" tail-pipes are only about 6 inches long before they dump into the twin chrome megaphones.
I can e-mail pics to someone if they want to post them here for me.
