my car is registered in North Dakota and i'm stationed in Utah. ND has no emission laws that i know of so i'm running a straight exhaust. someone else should be able to chime in one the bullet muffler. i've also heard that catalytic converters over time break down and the junk that does will destroy the turbo. you should think about either gutting yours or just taking them off.
exhaust pipe is on the passenger side of the car

dont apologize for asking questions. although some may poke fun, take it with a grain of salt. all my bosses say the same thing, not asking is the dumb thing to do.. heck i'm still learning too. such as no one answering my, " first oil change...?" thread

Run the air filter like the pic. You can get a fairly inexpensive cone filter from the chain auto parts stores that has an aluminum cover built aroud it. + an aluminum hat. Worked geat in the rain. I ran that in crappy weather (though I rarely drove in the rain w/ the STS) and had an AEM Dri-Flo for good weather. Kept both w/ the car and swapped out as mother nature dictated.
BTW, the AEM was like having no filter at all.....it seemed to outperform the stock K&N by a mile. But, the AEM is a dry gauze design and I'm sue doesn't react well to being soaked in water. The cheapo filter was on par w/ the K&N. Thus the reason I had both.

Why do i need to get rid of my long tube headers. The whole reason i was going to do a rear mount is so I dont have to redo my exhaust. I know to most they can scrap their all motor and go to turbo and not think twice. Im not like that, at least not yet. I dont want to start over. So what are the cons of having long tube headers.

I put a manga flow bullet muffler in the I pipe so now the tone is real deep. It used to be raspy as hell. I also run a 4.5 exhaust down pipe off the turbo. I got rid of my wrapp mac equal lenths because they where starting to grow out from the pressure on the exhaust flanges. Those things allways leak. I am on stock 02 manafolds now and 2.5 stainless exhaust wrap all the way back. Boost is still alittle laggy but hell I have a huge turbo.
