V6 Exhaust

[gordo881005]

Got a Storm, has standard twin cat to single, cant find anything in here about legal setups, looking at a 2 1/2 catback straight thru, no rear box? anyone done it, or know if its legal to remove the rear box??

By law you need to keep the same amount of mufflers as the car has stock, though everyone does it anyway.

Thanks, is a hotdog enough to replace the rear box? also, Your ute looks great with that SSX bodykit, was looking into getting it too, but dont think it'll work for my ute.

Your best bet would be to get under there and measure how long the stock rear box is and buy a hotdog to suit.
As for the kit, yeah it does look pretty awesome but the front is very low and wide - even at stock height i was grinding on things. Being fiberglass too the paint chips like a bitch, and god help you if you ever bump into anything - it just explodes and cracks.
I'd stick to plastic if i did it again.

Never had a hotdog on any of my utes, so not sure how'd they go, i always assumed they were for imports and sh*t, might be just keeping everything stock bar the exhaust, just cant hear the bastard as stock, and i dont like not hearing my vehicle

A hotdog is just a resonator, it is only called a hotdog because it resembles one in shape. They are also called a bullet resonator. Yes you can use on in place of the large rear resonator. A lot of people use one on the rear as it is still louder than stock but not as droney as if you had just a tail pipe.

So putting it simple for me, the rear muffler box CAN be replaced with a hotdog? i apologise for being slow, i am not mechanically minded. ha
