Just because you go to a larger diameter exhaust pipe doesn't mean it's going to be louder. I'm sure there's enough room under that car to run an 18" long resonator in addition to whatever muffler you go with.

I dunno how I would feel about pulling the a/c out of a sorta kinda luxo-ish car though...

I never use the A/C in the first place, always have the windows down, so I'm not concerned really.

Never heard of anyone modifying one, good luck, it'll be just about one of a kind.

G-Series, yep.

And 'tis a weird motor, but I love it.

I think there's 1-2 turbocharged Vigors out there that I know of. I hope to be #3.
