i believe its 12 or 18.. i just got one 3*18 for my y pipe and turns out thats the length of only the bullet part of the muffler, the overall length was 23" just keep that in mind
sounds great though http://people.maxweb.com/allen/uploads/2.mpg

I wrestled with headers and loudmouth, welding in bullet mufflers, etc...

Nothing helped, so I bought magnaflow, and I am 1000000000000% happier!

I have the 16 1/2" bullet dynomax muffler. I hope this helps me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I'm running straight headers now, but will be installing the y-pipe soon. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
btw - no tickets yet!

How do bullets sound at the end of long tubes?
summit lists a 23 1/2" and a 16 1/2" lengths..
How much quieter are the longer ones vs the shorter ones?
How do bullets at the end of long tubes sound opposed to bullets at the end of an X pipe?

Re: 12 or 16 in. bullets?
I just had my muffler shop install my 16 1/2" bullet(it only took them 40 mins <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ). It sounds better, although I'm not happy w/ the sound. It still chatters @ 2500rpms when I touch the gas at cruise, but not as much as it did. The welder told me that it would've sounded better w/ a longer bullet muffler. I wouldn't know because I didn't buy a longer one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> The bottom line is, to anyone that wants this set-up, good luck, the car is loud and imitates the LM w/ cats at higher rpms; which was something I wanted changed w/ headers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Oh well.
I'm going to save up and buy a hooker catback most definitely. The bullet can't compare w/ the hooker IMO.
