ok so maybe a dumb question about the push/pull fan do you want to wire it up to pull air through or push it? I would think push it through as number one it will be easier for the fan to push air the same direction as its coming while driving and also be pushing cooler air coming from the front then the heated air coming from engine bay. Maybe I just answered my own question but I wanted to confirm or not.

Most of the time you make it a pusher so that you have more room for the turbo and manifold.

Ok so I have read that you can use a stock or aftermarket evo downpipe that just needs lengthen by a foot. Now would it make more sense if I am getting another exhaust setup to leave the downpipe as is and bring the exhaust to it?

How do both of those sound? I was looking at getting a borla, or a magna flow. I want a deep low rumble. Any videos?

I'm running a 2.5" with high flow cat, 2 resonators and a straight through Magnaflow muffler. It's very quiet, but flows more than enough for my setup. I'll be upgrading to a full 3" after my new engine goes in.

straight piped 3 inch with a magnaflow muffler, i have one video on youtube, but i think it sounds like a honda in it.. lol.. not a very good camera.
magnaflow lik ei have will get you what you want... race series muffler, 3inch.. u will get deep lower toned exhaust. might want to look into 1 or 2 resonators for it.. mine got to the point that it annoyed me cuz its a lower pitched sound. i have 1 glasspack on it now. but no cats and no resonators it will be loud, and deep tone..
