Thanks fellas.
Got a few things ordered, ended up going with Magnaflow #12279 which is a straight through design 3” outlet 5x8 oval case muffler that is 30” long. I wanted something that would keep the car as quiet as possible while cruising and then open up the DP for the track, I hope the drone is kept to a bare minimum with this muffler.
Also ordered a flaming river 1/0 gauge battery relocation kit and this badass billet battery bracket from *** Racing. Order the quick connect boost control kit as well for when it is time to wire up the boost controller!

Bumpers are the only thing on the car that is fiberglass, we will see how heavy this thing actually is soon

Yea My last few turbo cars were pretty loud I figure I would try to make the full exhaust as quiet as possible for when I’m driving to the track or with the family and then open the 4” cutout for Racing, have the best of both worlds! Drone is my main concern.
I’m really curious if aluminum exhaust will change the tone at all

Still a lot to do, once the kit is done I’ll get the car back and pull the hotpipes off for coating and begin the install on the new motor

Turbo kit and full exhaust is wrapped up, transmission is pulled and waiting on parts. Picking the car up in a day or so and I will get the hotside dropped off to get it cerakoted. I am very pleased with how everything turned out and the full exhaust system.
Exhaust consists of..
4” downpipe with a V-band that is capped
3” off the downpipe to a huge magnaflow that had to be cut 4” because it was impossible to fit it otherwise.
