I ran dynomax Ultra-flo's with a X-pipe and dumped it right before the rear axle and the car sounded awesome and was quiet as ****. Made more power then bullets on the car

Kooks 1 7/8-2inch headers, 3.5in collectors, 3.5in/out spiral flow mufflers(the shortest one) and turndowns. It sounds GOOD and it's not overbearingly loud. When i go to the track, i take off the clamps, remove the mufflers and put on just the turndowns.

most definitely. I drive mine on the street as much as i can.

I have gotten 2 disturbing the peace tickets but they were both my fault. I had no cats, no mufflers, open cutouts both times and was revving my engine late at night both times.

I have also gotten an excessive noise by loud exhaust ticket, but i originally got pulled over for speeding (which he forgot to ticket me for). Some people are ******** about it, but generally if you are driving fine and not pissing people off, you will be ok.

I don't use hangers.

Each muffler is like 30 or so a piece, and then i got the pair of turndowns for about 30. Cheap, lightweight, sounds good. Can't beat that.

These are spiralflows, not bullets. Bullets are going to be louder, way louder since i have a 408.

Yes, moroso makes the spiral flows.

I personally believe all the crossover pipe stuff is hype and all that. Plus, adding an X pipe will add weight. If you really wanted to, you could make an H pipe work with this system, it would have to be custom to stretch from side to side, but you could do it if you wanted. I do not see the need and am just fine and happy with my setup.
