Ditto to what pilsdohboi said, although i ordered mine from performancediscounts.com, got a special deal, the guy sean that works there says he price matches anything.

HIGHLY doubt a straight back configuration would work with these particular cannisters. The passenger side is too cramped for space, the heat shield around the emissions box hast o be removed just to fit them at an angle. If the cannisters were smaller maybe you could fit them straight back. Or if you modified the bumper you could.

Just curious... I don't really like the look of seeing a canister from the back of the car. What would happen if you moved the mufflers along the piping towards the cats. What would happen w/ sound, performance, etc. I could do that, then just run piping straight back for a clean look. I've boxed the places I'm thinking about...

nice...that's the exact setup i was looking for, i just didn't like the one-canister look and wanted to do a custom dual setup. I just don't have the money right now...

Do you have any more pics? i am looking for a straight rear shot.
Thanks.

Nice new pics, the exhaust sits really low be careful because I have scratched my HKS after lowering my car. Also there is 2 or more other people who have done the dual HKS system, one was custom and the other modified his Borla with the HKS cans.

Yeah i usually go over speed bumps angled, but so far i havn't had any problems, it seems the lowest point of the mufflers is about even with the tires so nothing touches. Ultimate, i think i saw the borla setup, i also saw another dual HKS set up but it wasnt the carbon/ti cans it was just all silver colored. The Carbon is actually VERY important in my set up because it reduces heat which could potentially be exposed to the gas lines that are now exposed because i had to remove the heat shield.

Joust, if i had money for rims, i would have rims. I put ALL my money into my car BUT i work at office max $7/hour, only about 11 hours a week with a car payment + gas. Looks like im going to have a lot of extra college money, and i got a few scholarships, so ill probably be able to do some big stuff within the next year, hopefully TT.

Rims in the driveway are stupid Jeep Wrangler wheels+tires. I had a jeep before my Z, sold it, but it had 33"s and a lift and what not, so i have extra stuff that i am going to sell so i can buy more mods

aparshall-
which size did you use of the mufflers? the larger or the smaller sized ones? and what was your reason for choosing the one you used?
