the 1 in 2 out is the 80 series and don't get it. do you have the arh Y pipe already? put the cut out in series with the I pipe.

i have not bought anything yet besides the cme stuff.im researching first before i purchase anything. you guys are being very helpful.
so after the electric cutout now, i go over the axle into say magnaflow catback then, have a shop trim away the ends so i can run reducers to 90 bends out the cme??
or should i have a shop custom bend after the cutout using mendrel bends and a high flowing muffler?what would be cheaper custom after the ECO or buying a catback an doing some trimming for the cme?

Sounds very nice and flows just about as good as you'll get with any kind of system.

The flowmaster merge simply converges exhaust smoother than most other y pipes on the market. since the exhaust in the flowmaster is routed to a straighter merge, there is less turbulance when the exhuast meets. Less turbulence reduces rasp.
If you are going with a magnaflow, you should not have to run reducers.
