I got my panhard bar in over the weekend and after messing with the exhaust I just put in some turndowns, the car is much louder, has a deeper exhaust note, and handles better with more predictable steering. I haven't railed on it too much yet cuz I don't want to hit a patch of sand and put it into the curb or a ditch.

I missed a couple of steps in there but it turned out well. Their instructions are VERY detailed.
It's important to have very sharp drill bits and use wd40 to keep them cool, I think I wore out a few titanium bits

dynomax tail pipes are supposed to clear the panhard. Tips look much better than dumps...

I may do side exhaust eventually, if I can find a decent version that doesn't restrict flow much

^^spintechs...........
seriously though, unless you go straight pipe or turbo-style muffler, any chambered muffler is gonna restrict flow. thats the downside with getting something that sounds so utterly badass. i didnt feel a difference with my spintechs, mostly cause ive learned not to expect much from exhausts, they make nice noise if done right, and some help a bit, but unless youre doing header-back, its merely just for the sound.

It stabilizes the rear-end. Keeps it from moving sideways during cornering which makes the car much more predictable. I'd love to have a MM torque-arm and panhard bar combo. Too bad I'm broke.
