Is that a catalytic converter at the back of the car? Or just part of one to make some kind of home-grown muffler?
Andy/Patrick, the world just isn't ready.

Yes it is erin, its the biggest racing cat you can get... I bought it for the brownie but was too big for undercar mount... I have no silencer left and i think it will reduce noise a little but without disturbing the flow too much PLUS i hope it will glow like a the sun for some awesome pictures, if it wont work i put my varex on the benz...

It'll probably pick up some heat when you're driving the wheels off of it but to actually catalyze the exhaust it needs to be closer to the front. It should diffuse the sound a bit but I've never heard a car with one mounted at the rear so it may have an interesting tone.
The only thing I'd worry about with it at the rear is some clogging if you run the tune a little rich. Without the kind of heat it normally sees it probably won't burn off much left over fuel and may end up catching it in the substrate.

Yeah i was thinking the same but i just wanna test it, never saw or heard a car with it at the end but i heard from cars with the turbo in the rear and stuff so that cat at the is not half as stupid as the turbo in the back I had it laying around, nearly the shape of a muffler so why not We will see if it damps the noise, cool if not it should glow if that not too i put a muffler on the car haha.
Made some exhaust tip, 110mm.
And i made an adaptor from 3 stud Benz Driveshaft to 4 stud Toyota, dont need the rubber thing...
aaaaaaaand i mounted the side skirts, still waiting for the brake lines and some smaller stuff. havent decided on the suspension yet, unfortunately there is not that big variety
