The drone in unbearable. I will experiment with some different mufflers but fitment is a major issue and I really only have room for bullet style.


Pros:
Leaves no power on the the table
Looks super pretty

Con's
Major expense if you want it to hug without scraping
DRONE

First, that system looks absolutely killer with all the custom fitment

Second, have you looked into helmholtz pipes/J-tubes? I know, adding more exhaust isn't high on your list, but it's really not bad. There's ample space under the heat shield where the OG muffler went. Most V8's want tubes 20-30". Dual systems need their own respective tubes. The J-tube pipe diameter doesn't need to match the system either, so smaller 2.25-2.5" will work if it helps packaging

I have looked at them but they were more system level options. I guess I never thought about making a custom one. That link is super helpful. I need to spend some more time on this. If it weren't for the drone I'd be super happy. At WOT it's a symphony of murica.

I bought them off amazon, fablab motorsports is the brand. They seem to be good so far.

Edit: That is not the brand. Ill have tl dig through my notes but I know they are an off brand high flow universal.
