like i said before, nobody had done a GEN 3 with 10 speed trans!!
we all have seen a GEN 2 swap long time ago!!
i think i will tell you if nothing big changes and this can be done!!!
my idea was trying to use back my actual Mishimoto cat-back system but this is 2.5" so is not enought!! so i decided to go with the Borla Atak 3" with X pipe that found in a good price close to me and i think that will works good, any thoughts of this Borla Atak?
yeah i saw one Magnaflow 3" inlet/outlet but it is same universal type not sure if will fit good and have to remakes the tubes and is not stainless still either! so i just get the borla Atak 3" cat-back system that have X pipe and see if this is too loud or not, after that can i add the...
