Re: its alive!!

Looks good! I am thinking of redoing my mufflers to quiet my car more...try to make it more unsuspecting. With new heads/cam coming, it should be near a second quicker and sound tamer

Re: its alive!!

lol thats the problem, the damn turbos.

I have dynomax bullets now and its quiet. going down the track people tell me they were surprised to see that car moving that fast but being so quiet. It caught them off guard. Its funny because it could be alot quieter with different mufflers but those bullets do a good job at killing sound and at 40 a piece, they dont break the bank

I plan to go back to the dynomax ultraflo rounds. I had the 4" single before and now I was going to try the 3" ones on my dual exhaust. Mount in the same spot as the bullets. Its basically a bullet with larger perforated core and alot more sound absorbing packing. Should really quiet it down.

Very similar to SLP powerflow exhaust

thats gonna be nice.

I have a 3.5" downpipe on an electric cutout and then it reduces down to 3" to the borla catback that i had, mine should be pretty quiet to and i just ordered a water/meth injection kit so i can always run 93 octane since this will be a street car LOL

I run the 3" dynomax ultraflo ovals and like them. they are a little load without a turbo helping control the sound level. The have plenty of flow even for as much HP your engine has.

If you run cutouts then might as well go with the dynomax 3" chambered that flow about 500HP as a pair. It would sound bone stock and with cutouts have no back pressure and high HP
