Look here. Go down to Exhaust System and Components.

That's great you found a shop to do it. I can't find one that does mandrel bends so I'm going with the Mopar 2 1/2" catback exhaust.

I had duals ran out of the back of my car with no muffler and it is LOUD. I just recently bought a set of resonators off of a SRT4 but have not had time to get them installed yet. Hopefully it will tone it down some.

not using mandrel bends just crush bent the performance difference is so small that in my opinion its just not worth the extra bucks

I-m thinking it will be as loud as a SRT-4 or a BTG axle=back.

hmm, not so sure about that.. turbo engines like nothing better then air flow.. then again, the straight pipe might more then make up for the difference.

Here's what I'm thinking of:
Y pipe w/electric cut-out after the cat, dump in front of the rear tires (where a side pipe would exit).. one side runs through a resonater, the other is totaly open.. normal operation is through the resonater, stage 2 opens the straight pipe, stage 2 boost, etc If a shop can't do the mandrel bends, I'll order them myself and provide them
