The failing twins is a mixed blessing. They are nice and drivable but just dont have enough puff to move these fat cars like they should. Good luck with the car.

A magnaflow 3" straight through design. Whether or not you want a 'full' size muffler or resonator is up to you, and your ears.

Don't believe everything you hear about how a single turbo yields bad driveability. My brother's auto Supra had a SP57 that wouldn't turn anybody's heads with raw numbers ("only" 505 whp at 19 psi) but it drove better than the stock setup ever hoped to. He had a nice converter & built trans too, but the key is not to shoot for the moon on the turbo itself.

Failing stock turbos is called a "forced upgrade opportunity". Once you stop cursing whoever designed those twins to be so hard to remove, you'll love the engine all over again when it has a single turbo dangling from an easy to work on manifold.
