LQ4 S480 Build
I wasn't going but what do you mean an insert i havent heard of that. I want to hear how loud it is and decide from there. Either ill get a 5" muffler for it or maybe get an exhaust made to go out the back and just change them out foe the track and street. Best part about v bands. 
I considered doing both like you mentioned, but if I'm going to cut a hole I'm going run the exhaust there haha
Can't wait for the start up clip

There was a vid I watched a few months ago and he had his turbo dumped at the k member and had a Vortex insert and it didn't sound terribly loud.
When I build my setup I was planning on running an open pipe and adding the insert if I felt it was too loud, if its still too loud with the insert, then I don't know

I will run e85 just not right away. I'd definitely use it if it was more available to us here. One station around within 100 miles, massachusetts sucks!! I got some prices on e98 so will try that also.
