Default anyone running header muffler and turn down?

I am debating on taking the Borla off. I wanted to know what sounded the best and what would fit with long tubes?

I am runnig 3 inch bullet mufflers off My edelbrok long tubes and then turndown. It sounds good almost like open headers, but not as loud, until you get on it.

Used to run open headers but new noise rules at the track, so i added the bullets.

FMS has Bullets for $39.00. i found some that the dirt track guys use. they are 100db @100 feet away. Looking for something with a deep sound at idle. I have QTP long tubes.

Thanks guys.

I ran collector pipes and turn downs that were about a total of 18" off the headers. Nice and LOUD. I've since added bullets to the collector pipes for a race series I'm in. It quieted the sound down a little but gave it a nice deep tone.

FYI
<<< not a street car
