    A: no differance

    so it will basicly be straight through

    Looking at ETKA, I reckon it's 2 inch. I'd not be removing the rear silencer, it's the one that does the most work.

    the standard size on a vr6 is 2.125" from memory.

    If you remove the rear muffler without putting something else in its place you will be too worried about your ears bleeding more than how much power you have.

    it'll be SOOOOOOO loud without a back box.

    wouldn't recommend it if you actually enjoy driving.

    I'd suggest taking out the middle suitcase resonator if anything mate..Branko has done that and it's not too loud. Either that, or just get a cheap catback system with two more mufflers behind the cat (instead of the three that are already there). The VR6 sounds great with just a little opening up. Too much and it will drone like hell!!
