Too loud for me as well. Get the exhaust done right and you will have a perfect setup.. If I did a TA Turbo it would be similar to yours...

I haven't figured out the new plans for the exhaust yet, I don't want anything restrictive, so that makes it hard to make it quiet LOL...

LOL!! Umm you do have a boost **** right. I would go with the old tried and true SLP Dual Dual and add some electric cutouts. Quiet that monster down and when you need to really kick some azz just open the cutouts..

eh, I don't like complications, and the more "devices" in the system teh more annoyed I get. I just like to hit the gas and go. I don't like preparing in any way shape or form.....lol

Im thinking about a pair of XR-1s behind the bullets, see if it helps any. We'll see.

have not had a successful track run at high boost (18 psi), I have two aborted runs that almost put me into the wall around the 1/8 mile mark.

I will go back to that at a later time, it still does not have a cage...

I ran XR1's before, they definitely sound better than bullets. I'm running a single 4" bullet right now and it's too much for me. I've got a Splitflow I will get put on when I get a chance.

Put the bullets in the garbage, they are a waste of weight. The XR1 will do a good job. I swear the bullets are louder than open headers!

BTW the car looks nice!

XR-1's actually make a big difference. i had open headers, then hung 3" xr-1's off them... and was suprised to how quiet... (wrong word) ...less loud the car was.

i'd say just put them in place of the bullets.
