Man, really wished this could come out for the sedan

tooter · 06-11-2012, 12:41 PM

Is the difference just the body length, or are there other structural differences in the chassis itself?

tooter, the sedan exhaust routs differently and is longer. Midpipe is different also.

tooter · 06-11-2012, 08:00 PM

Thanks for the info, Garm.

I've never actually seen a sedan up close.

Sounds great and looks awesome. I've always loved the center exhaust, and you can bet the Garm's system is top-notch.

Anyone want to buy a Thunder axle back?

I have lots lot of fun scouring the internet to discover all of the possible options available for a specific item (like a header exhaust or intake) and then choosing the one that best fits my personal preferences.

So after looking at all the wide variety of exhaust possibilities, the center exit won hands down for being a unique product with an elegantly simple, well thought out, and competently executed design.

Just because I think I was the first one (in the US/Cali at least) to have a center exit exhaust =P

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-12-2012, 02:22 PM

Here's what mine sounds like under daily driving (might sound the same since I'm using a Magnaflow muffler)

wow and every shop I went to when I was thinking bout this said "oh no you can't do it"

tooter · 06-13-2012, 12:24 AM

Maybe they were really saying that they couldn't do it.

It's much easier to get something that already fits and simply bolt it on and drive.

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-13-2012, 02:52 AM

You can do a center exit exhaust using the OEM muffler. Those shops are BS'ing!

^ or just plain lazy...

Agree.. but it won't soung nice

tooter · 06-13-2012, 11:56 AM

I had also considered that approach. Have a muffler shop cut the 180 degree bend coming out of the muffler in half and add a straight section to center the pipe on the car, add a tip, and then install an extra hanger near the end to support it. It would look nicer and still be quiet.
