No, you will be fine. However it will sound like a AK47 going off under the hood. They are freaking loud...I mean you will be heard a mile away. Fun for about a week, then it gets old...Fast

I had one in my 92 Talon. I loved messing with Harley people. They would be cruizing down the highway with that loud annoying exhuast that most harleys have thinking they were all cool. I would pull along side of them and let her rip. They would just about crap their pants It would bring such a smile to my face. Oh, in the summer I would pull up on peoples rear quarter and if their windows were down I would open her up a sec. No lie, they would jump in their seats, lol.

Ahhh, the days of having the 1992 TSI-AWD 400+HP Road Warrior Talon. I used to stir up all kinds of fun in that thing Would never do stuff like that anymore

i have mine just poiting straight down from the turbo not one of my better ideas but it is the best for optimum flow lol. it echos off the ground and amplifies the sound haha in car is not that bad im used to it after driving that way for over a year when you hit it its like an open dp lol. you have no power out of boost though but you can always have boost haha pulling from a stop i hit like 3-4 psi barely touching it. i wanna run mine out the bumper on my new setup how much was the fab work on yours?

Nah, on the Talon it was loud in the car, no joke, it sounded like a machine gun going off under the hood. Couldn't hear or think much else when it was flowing Though I had the mani ported and cut so the flange for the 02 dump was coming right off #1 cylinder. I actually ended up buying a 2ft 1.5 in diam peace of that bendable exhaust (think it was for muffler tips or some of that nature they have at Auto Zone) and connected it to the 02 dump. I was able to position it so I could fit the end of the piping with a small muffler from a CR250 dirt bike These mufflers do not add much weight or restrict flow that much. Sounded so cool after that. make sure it dumps AWAY from anything you do not want to get black and carboned as the gas that comes out is not filtered/cooled in any way and will make a big mess under the hood in a short time
