I was wondering about what exhaust I should use, I already have a stainless TIG welded cat-back on my KA right now and it sounds GREAT. Will it fit when I put the CA in? Would it still sound as good on the CA (if it fits)?

You can just use your current exhaust. It will probably sound even better with the CA.

sweet sweet nectar. It doesn't sound ricey at all, deep and throaty. It goes from the cat to two pipes into a muffler then the two pipes go to two false fart cans, they aren't glass packs.

The CA sounds more pissed off than the KA does when you give it the beans. It doesn't growl like the KA, it screams. That said, if your exhaust sounds good on the KA it will also sound good on the CA. Especially since you'll have a turbo removing a bunch of the raspy, high-frequency noises from the exhaust note already.

I can't wait to hear how mine sounds. Greddy turbo outlet, Apexi' down pipe, Intense Motorsports 3" resonator test pipe and Apexi' NOIR cat back.

3" stainless steel turbo back. I'm so excited to fire mine up.

I love how the KA sounds, so much more masculine than my friends SR. Even though his would anally rape mine on any given day.

bigger displacement sounds that way.
