You are also talking modding it from a V8 to an I6, so not much is going to fit. I would guess you're looking to replicate the sound, that is just not going to happen.

Not so much replicate the sound even though it is nice. I personally like the look as well. Any suggestions since your saying it wont fit?

Are you looking for the quad exhaust look? Do a search for quad exhaust mod. It's been done a number of times. They should give you an idea of what you need.
