Want a louder exhaust note

Why would you chop up the FI exhaust to add short tails? You haven't opened up the cats yet. Add test pipes or HFCs and then see how it sounds.

you don't need to chop it.

I had a section made to match bend for bend with FI tips.

jack the car up, 6 bolts, change out pipes, done.

no hacking, no chopping, all that FI goodness X2

Fair enough. I was going with the most simply solution which would just be to open up the part of his exhaust that is still OEM.

the post I put above pretty much was the same.

go test pipes first. then if that isn't loud enough drop the mufflers.

Wasn't suggesting chopping the FI, was suggesting chopping some short tails to make them fit the FI.

And that's probably what I'll do before I just grab some short tails, judging by the comments, sounds like test pipes will give me what I'm looking for.
