No. I just had them cut from the edge of the muffler and add new piping. Didn't add Y pips since there's no reason... So only 1 pipe on each end in the center

Perfect mod to for an aggressive sound not obnoxious either ????
Hey Jay, Did you by chance take any pics? I really want to get this done, I'd just like to know exactly what to tell them to do.

All you need to let then know you want done is resonator and muffler deletes. Also, you dont need y-pipes the single piping theyll add is fine. (Theyll charge tou more for y pipes. Probably 40$ or more for each one.

I called a local shop and they said that some kits include an X or H-pipe, any thoughts on those?

I know this is the wrong forum, but does anyone know what this would sound like on a 2.0? That’s about my only complaint with this car... it’s too quiet.

I purchased these off of Ebay. They're 4" tips with Carbon fiber covers. They're about 150$
Do these mount to the bumper since you don’t have y pipes? I’ve seen some on other threads but they clamp to the exhaust.

Gotcha, so I take it yours are duals then, the other thread was looking at 4 singles for the stock exhaust. Did you have to shave down the holes in the bumper at all to get them to fit?

Yes dual tips on each side. Yes, I shaved the inside of the bumper and a straight cut so they could fit without any issues.

Yes, I noticed a bit more drone. It's fine while cruising. I hear it more when I start pressing on the throttle.

Do you think the added sound is worth the extra drone?

For my preference yes. Way better sound than just a muffler delete. I can live with the drone it has.

Mine are a bit smaller so I only had to dremel a small portion on the top and bottom without cutting through the entire bumper
Il post a full rear picture soon. I just had to wash the car since it was so dirty
