I'd actually leave the exhaust alone and just do the blower.. leave it sounding stock. A ride like that, you don't want all kinds of exhaust noise, it will ruin that dead silent interior they have.

Throw a good tune into it and leave it un-molested. Don't try to make a hot rod out of a luxury ride---you'll just ruin it... A lease? All the more reason to leave it alone. WJ
