Default who has custom exhaust pipes

i've been trying for to get a greddy mx exhaust for about 3 months now...i finally found someone that had it and so i pay for it and everything was ok....i go to install it and find out its for an older gs and it will not fit the sc4, so i finally decided to try something else...im going to get custom pipes and a borla exhasut,
1-what size pipes should i get
2-should i keep all the resonators/will it be too loud if i take them off
3-what are my options for high flow resonators
4-is there any high flow cat for the sc4
anyone ..............

Borlas are overpriced, IMO. Try a common domestic, or JDM brand.

I changed out the stock mufflers with stainless steel magnaflow street series. deep, rich tone (similar to a ferrari 550/575), but still very quiet. I then took out the two resonators that were in front of each muffler, now it's not so quite. It's noticeable, but only when I have my foot on the pedal...when I'm cruising it's just as quiet as before. I only get noise when the throttle is actually being pressed open, and the noise I get is maybe as loud as a big v8 truck (hard to say, I haven't heard it outside of my car, only from the driver's seat with my window down). I still have the stock cat in there, and the stock piping. When I take off, whether from the line or from a roll, you can definitely hear the exhaust...deep and rich like the Ferrari's I mentioned, just not as loud or annoying as those ricer bee hive units.

I have a custom exhaust setup. I am using two SS Magnaflow mufflers with 3" inlet and 3" outlet. I have two 3" mendral pipe from turbos on. No Cat, Just two 3" pipe with four straight through resonnators. Cost was $600

If you want nice tone and save some money. This is what you should do on your SC4.

Remove the stock resonnators and increase the Y Pipe to a 3". The Y pipe is the pipe where two pipes are join together after the Cat and before the resonnators. You will have high flow and sounds great. Cost? I guess would be around $150
