S exhaust on a non-S Cabrio

Hiya guys,

I am planning to put an S exhaust on my non S convertible..

Is there anyone out there who has done this!? i know about the brace.. and I know I need to make an other "brace thingy" where I need to hang my other damper... (left side)

Is there maybe a how to or are there some guys who can give me some tips!?!

Many thanks!

Coen

Since you don't carry a spare... if you are willing go to the trouble of putting in the heavy and convoluted S exhaust, why not put in a straight-through exhaust instead?

Best bet would be to sell the Milltek and go to a custon exhaust shop and just have a system built for you. Shouldn't cost more than $300 for one with a high quality great sounding muffler like Magnaflow.

Have the muffler shop cut and weld the miltek into a straight design.
