exhaust help

I have a canister tip muffler (fart can) and its too loud inside the car. so im goin with the borla route. id like to run duals out of the side but want to ask if the people who have already done this if its still loud inside the car and if theres anyways to keep it loud but OUTSIDE the car. I would like to run it out of the side where the little side skirt looks removeable circled in red below.

If you want to keep the noise outside, then running the outlets to the side is the wrong idea. For lower noise level, run the duals out the back.

Hey lunchbox,

Do you still have the piping from your side system? Is the pic shown here from your setup?
