My advice/input... Bullets sound like ***. Go with an actual muffler not a piece of pipe.

If you don't mind spending a little $, go with Borla XR1 bullets, they have multicores. They sound pretty damn good. Absolutely no rasp at all even with no cats, they are deep, loud and very smooth.

Either Borla XR1's (40085) or Magnaflow 14419's. Magnaflow has a 4" case for better ground clearence, while Borla is a 5" case.

In my opinion, for BULLET mufflers, these are the only 2 worth mentioning. A Dynomax bullet won't do a damned thing for tone, and very minimal noise reduction. But they are cheap....

Kooks makes some bullet mufflers. I'm planning on using them for a custom true dual setup soon.

They're pretty inexpensive too, especially compared to their custom true dual system they sell.

If you are doing the Texas Speed duals the Sweet Thunders are the best hands down

Bullets do not sound like *** on duals, i love my sweetthunders but they are on the loud side,borla xr1s sound good, if i were to change my st out i would go borla or magnaflow,

Op i have had alot of exhaust setups, out of bullets i really like the st, if your not worried about it being to loud,i think the tone is great, if your going to do a dumped dual setup it might be worth it to buy the tsp duals,there a really good price,considering 2 bullets are going to run ya close to 90something each
