Prepare for a fresh new exhaust, things are about to get rowdy. This exhaust features twin 2.5" brushed pipes that slip fit and clamp onto your factory midpipes. The dual 2.5" mid-pipe adapter converges into a single 3" section heading toward the rear axle. The 3" exhaust section snakes through the rear section of the car making smooth dips and curves to make its way into a light-weight 3" turbo style muffler.
