lol, maybe try proofreading your posts before pressing the submit button. Most people on this forum won't bother reading a post if they have to translate it first...
" ok cool dude I'm just trying to decide what type of exhaust I'll get. I can get in contact with a local exhaust and muffler repair shop to get a custom exhaust, but I don't know what size (2.25' or 2.5') I want to get High Flow cats for sure as as far as extractors are concerned will most likely get pacemakers

deciphered! =)
Any (ANY) modification(s), unless approved to ADR standards, that change/alter/modify any aspect of your vehicle from the ADR standards/requirements that existed at the time of manufacture of your vehicle are ILLEGAL.
Benboy has a point. Go look at the fine print of your insurance policy before you bump into something and your insurer points it out to you about the same time as they refuse your claim. I'd guarantee there's a clause in almost all standard insurance policies about roadworthiness and modifications and that means compliant with ADRs. Insurance companies aren't charities and if they can get out of paying a claim they will. I want to put some decent wheels on my poverty pack drive and that's proving interesting, 17's are fine but the 18's I like are an issue and those 19's well. So I might be looking for an insurer that's more understanding of a few modifications - no doubt with a big premium increase over what I am paying now for their "understanding".
So long as people go in to mods with their eyes open there's no issues but it could be an expensive learning curve otherwise - I hate paying off cars & paying off one I don't drive anymore just has to be worse :-)

for a second there i thought impulsesv6 picked up ANOTHER!!! alloytec, i was going to say you couldnt make that mistake twice lol.
just get cat back zoust. 2.25 for the nice quiet tune or 2.5 for that i wanna be a v8 sound. and the cats are fine as they are, i would only get a major zourst done if your actually going to get supercharged. tune it and you'll smoke most thing on the road.
im getting a 2.25 exhaust done soon.
