going y-pipe to true duals. Noise level question
I'm having a 3" true dual x-pipe set up built w/ cats and bullets, also having it under the axle and out the back. I curently have or had 3" catted Y with cut out right behind the muffler after the axle.
i realy dont want it "loud" I know bulleted TD's are pretty loud but sence there being sent all the way back and have catts i think it should be just right.
Ok my real question is do you think this TD set up will be louder, quieter, or about the same as my Y? I think (hope) it will be the same if not quieter, b/c with the cutout you use no muffler but with the X you at least have bullets.
also i might as well ask do you think it will flow better?
Oh and dont use the link in my sig to compare thats with the dual cut outs open.

My duals dumped before the axle aren't even that bad in the car, and I don't even have turn downs. With bullets it's probably a different story. Before I made my duals, I had a Borla, and I thought that sounded good.......until I started up my car for the first time with my duals. The difference in sound is worth it alone. Maybe I imagined it, but the car does feel a little stronger, but who knows. I figure even if I didn't gain much power, I definitely didn't lose any.

Heres a couple of soundclips. First one is the open Y pipe, sounded mean and was definately louder but not a good tone at all.

Second one is the X pipe and Borla XR1's. The tone is much better, just not quite as loud. Actually its noticably quieter, but the cam should wake it up.
