The new system flows better than the stock system. The restrictions due to the flattened section of the smaller diameter stock tubing are gone. This system is mounted in the stock location, using modified OE hangers on OE rubber insulators. Ground clearance is within a half inch of stock. The flex coupling reduces stress on the turbo flange.

It will be easier to service: I can supply replacement components with off the shelf parts. And I can make the system up as a kit.

It was not easy to get to this point. I had to re-engineer my first attempt completely. But it was well worth the hassle. It came out very nice; and I can configure it differently if I so choose: two round mufflers; or one muffler; and I will try this layout in 3in on another wagon.

The sound is like the deep "purr" that a cat will give when it is politely informing you that now is not the time to bother it...the warning purr.
