Its a GREAT idea if you are running a race header. I have considered multiple times putting that on my last car, but never go to it. On a stock system I dont see a need for it.

I could maybe see one with a turbo, or on a race car, but please don't run it open on the streeet and piss off numerous old ladies and such.

My uncle has a kit has a similar kit for his old GTO (if it ever get finished). He has an extar set of side pipes that punch out through the rocker panel for when he wants to hit the strip or just scare/ impress people.
I don't see the need for it. It would be a lot of work to get it to be clean looking.

It's bigger than the stock exhaust. Do you understand how it works? They don't need to be any bigger then the stock exhaust to work.

Considering that you can remove the exhaust system from the flexpipe back on a Zetec with a stock header and cat and see little or no gains, I don't see how this would help you. The only way that this would work on our cars is if you could somehow splice it in before the cat so you could switch between running a cat and not, but given the direct header to cat hookup its pretty much impossible. The other problem is you'd be dumping a lot of exhaust directly under the car, which would make it possible for it to get into the cabin...there's a reason most exhaust systems exit outside of the body.
