Hey guys i just built a new logstyle turbo kit on my silverado. My first kit had all 4" downpipe to the rear with a 16" bullet dumped. It sounded pretty good and wasnt loud.
My new setup is a 4" downpipe dumped right behind the pass front tire near the fender. Its a open downpipe and sounds like a race setup. It sounds ok at idle but is pretty loud, and even worse cruising around town.
So, Im thinkin of adding a short bullet to it. Im undecided on either a dynomax bullet like i had before, or a vibrant race bullet. What have u guys tried and suggest??? I think i can manage to fit a 10" bullet at most.
Yea i need something 4". I may try a 12" bullet if i can fit it. The thread posted above... everyone tried the smaller bullets and they didnt seem to help much.
Wonder how 2 small bullets would do.
Only place tht has the short 4" is vibrant and they are pricey.
yeah any downpipe that short is gonna be loud. a bullet will only take the ear shattering rasp off. think about adding a 4" cut out and 8-10' exhaust with a real muffler.
That said, best setup is always a cutout IMO. Grab a 4" cutout and run a little 2" 2.25" etc pipe off the side of your down pipe. With the dump closed it cuts about 60% of the noise down. No muffler required.
This is the entire exhaust system on my race car. It's quiet enough to talk on the phone with the dump closed.

I drove truck today and its kinda loud but not to bad, its growing on me lol. I Just hate the raspy tractor tone. Really Leaning towards a small 4" bullet. At least give it a shot and see how it sounds.
I have a customer wanting twin 60s fabbed up next week. Might be going through the same delima with his setup.
A short single 4” straight thru bullet will do little to nothing for sound. It’s a butt hair quieter than a straight pipe. Been there, done that. The cutout 100% works, is light weight, semi cheap, and the best option by far I’ve found.
I’ve also got a set of 64mm twins on a 5.3 mustang. They are much louder than my single turbo 4” open DP on the RX-7.
I use 2 3” cutouts on that setup ($60 china vacuum activated cutouts). Then tie the 2 3” down pipes together with a little 2” “H pipe” and run a single 2” pipe all the way back to stock 4cyl mustang exhaust. Sleeper city... it’s OEM quiet. I wrap it all and it ties into a $120 walker OEM exhaust axle back kit.
