TSP TD's w/dumps = LoudAsFuk!! Got my duals put on this Sat. no cats, 18" sweet thunders + dumps is louder than all hell. It sounds badass but unbelievably obnoxiously loud. Had my wife drive it and followed her to hear it outside the car and its not as bad as I thought it was but still waves a red flag to cops "come get me". Inside it drones and rattles at low rpm.
Thinkinh of getting some small cats to stuff in there to quiet it down a little and smooth out the tone. What would be a good choice? Not magnaflows, my car is lowered and those things were ruined after 2 weeks last time I got some.

The cam over the winter must have done it b/c it was fine last year on stock cam.
I was at the local cruise spot and didn't go over 2000 rpm the whole time.
Actually the cop just pulled into the gas station I was filling up at.
Sat around waiting for me, I started up, pulled out and made it a block before the lights came on.
Kind of BS cause a couple imports just tore *** out of the same parking lot not a minute before not a whole lot louder than mine.
I've got cats and now have to figure out how I'm going to fab up the rest of this thing to quiet it down.

I'm a bit confused. Have you seen the newer Magnaflow cats? "Metal Spun" are the type I got and they are just a little more than half the size of the stock ones and don't have a huge bulge for the converter packing and are not bent either. Sort of look like a small resonator. Yet, by my own admittance I HAVE scraped on this exhaust on a speedbump while not being too careful but that has much more to do with my car being lowered.

I'll check out those new magnaflow cats.

must be this one.
These look like they will fit pretty damn good. How well do they flow though? I had some small jethot cats when i first put my headers on and they clogged up after 6 months.

I was gonna shoot you a PM telling you to lookout once you get cammed, cause where else is there to cruise if they're all uptight now in St. Paul
I didn't want to argue how arbitrary it is for him to decide what is too loud since I've got no cats and the fine for that is thousands I've heard.
I guess its time to turn the screws on getting the cats in and maybe some real mufflers.

It's not a fix it ticket is it (no fine if a cop signs off on it)? If it is I may be able to help you out, throw me a PM.I'm gonna be living down there so I guess it's 5th gear at 30mph from now on...
Good luck dude, are you gonna be down there again this weekend? Or are you waiting for a new setup?
Edit: I'm off topic!
