No it will not hurt the engine....

It will be loud and raspy....really just personal preference if it sounds good or not....

It will sound like compleete **** and lose some tq but may gain you a few hp up top.

Not worth it for a m/ostly street car

well, i would say try a bolt on version if you could. find a section of pipe you could just bolt on the y pipe to and swp out under the car. and if you don't like the sound then simply switch it back..

Change out the Bump Stick first, then look into one...

I have Hooker LTs to a Hooker ORY and then to a Magnaflow bullet and dump right in front of the rear axle...


Sounds VERY mean and no rasp what so ever!.Sounds way better than my E cutout did and feels like it makes more power!.(don't have dyno numbers to back that up with)...... it is on the loud side though and would not recommend it for daily driving....
