I'm currently investigating options for upgrading the exhaust on my Gen 6 2.5i to a dual exit set-up.
From overseas forums it looks like the gen5 3.6 mid-pipe and axle-back sections may well fit, however will need to be extended at the tips to allow for the slightly longer wheelbase. Also I'll need to get a couple of hangars welded on the drivers side to mount the additional muffler/outlet as I've checked under the car and as expected there's no mounting points on the 2.5.
The other possibility is a gen6 3.6 mid-pipe and mufflers but I'm thinking the likelihood of finding these second-hand is quite slim given how new the model is. Also I have slight concerns about the larger diameter pipe (if there is any) and if this is going to have any detrimental effects.
I'm not looking for any performance gains - but want to make 100% sure I'm not going making a loss! The system is purely going to be for cosmetic improvement and because I like to personalise my cars. Looking for tasteful but not ricey - after all it is just a 2.5i NA.
Interested in feedback before heading down any particular path.
