bullet mufflers
Just wanted to know if anyone is using the 18" bullet mufflers instead of the 12"? If so, whats the difference in sound?? I did a search, but it seems just about everyone has the 12" version. My headers should be here in a few days, and I need to quiet my LM. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Thanks

Well, let me ask this then....I'm wanting to weld up 2 of them, one on each side of the "split" after the I-pipe dumps over the axle, and was wondering which might sound better, the 12" or 18"? I've heard the 12" bullets on a true dual set-up, but that's probably like comparing apples & oranges. Anyways, any thoughts or opinions would be great!
thanks
thanks

Thanks for the reply. If you say its too quiet, I may hafta go that route, because even though I like loud, the cops dont feel the same way. How good is just one 18" at controlling rasp?? This is why I was considering maybe doing 2 of them as mentioned before.
thanks
thanks

1 18" bullet is just right for keeping a low profile with the cops, NO RASP for me either. I will strongly recommend one 18" for the right level of sound without the attention from cops. Of course if you WOT the sound is loud enough. I live real close to a police station and the quieter exhaust I have now is a peace of mind.

BTW, I have a stock Dual/Dual with around 48K mile, and the sound was real loud without the bullet probably because the muffler is pretty worn out. Again the bullet made a huge difference, and oh yeah I stopped getting headaches.

I'd like to know as well. What would it sound like if you put two bullets after the axle (one for each exit) inplace of a catback? Will two bullets flow better in place of great flowing catback while still retaining the y-pipe setup?

Will those bullet mufflers kill the "good" header noise too? I have a lopey cam and my Macs gave me that sweet crisp exhaust pulse sound at idle. I want to put an 18" bullet in the I-pipe right after the collector but don't wanna lose that sound.

Will you loose or gain any HP withe an 18" bullet in the I pipe versus the regular muffler in the rear? I have the typical cat back set-up minus the cats and i hate the RASP. Just trying to figure if ill loose any HP if i go with a bullet in the I pipe and getting a Y pipe over the axle for my two exits. I have read that there will be no RASP with the bullet set up.. Thanks
