i ran CORSA and it was the best sounding cat-back i've ever heard, althought the $780 price tag was a little

I'd avoid just running Dynomax bullets, car ends up sounding a bit raw and it's kind of loud.

I had dual Magnaflows with my blower setup and it sounded great. I am intending to install a SplitFlow muffler (4") with my turbo setup.

I always liked the loudmouth with a turbo.

You hear the whistle, no back pressure, and it doesn't sound raspy at all with a turbo.

Does anyone sell it like that or is that something you pieced together? I'm wanting to switch to the exact setup and sell my GMMG.
