The main issue is you really don't have the room for a muffler put in
that way. You can make some good noise and have a nice tip. But, you really
do need to put the muffler in that same orientation. Here is what I did as
an affordable performance setup. I did what one of the earlier posts said.
I got my own muffler and performance tip. Then I had the shop make up the
rest of a welded on system. I've gone through several iterations of this
for my turbo. I tried no muffler, a glasspack, then a Flowmaster Delta 40
2.5 inch., after that I went to a Ultraflow stainless 2.5 muffler. Over the
course of a few years this was my way of finding a nice sound that still
wouldn't be too nasty. My car is a turbo but this same type of system would
work for a regular model and would be louder. At the same time I used these
mufflers I used a Pacesetter Pencil tip. 3.5" fitted to 2.5 pipe.
For a nice loud sound without the buzzing nasty resonance. I recommend using
something like the Ultraflow used with a resonated glasspack type tip.
Use 2.25" pipe. This would be pretty loud without the undesirable resonance
a four cylinder has in that 2-3k rpm range. Hope this helps you.
