I had turndowns when I had my 4" Mufflex muffler, but they were turned down just a little behind the back of the bumper in the stock location..You may be thinking of a different setup, but thats about the only way with the stock muffler, unless you go with true duals, or put a turndown tip after the y-pipe like I think you mean, and have no other ehxaust, but then the exhaust would be hitting the ground right under your front passenger seat...might be kinda loud

what are you wanting? a cutout? dumping true duals? I'm confused on what you are wanting exactly.

Basically you are describing a cutout. I would just get a cutout. At least you can cap that when it gets on your nerves

i had a QTEC electric cutout and loved it. There might be a group purchse going on but I doubt it. You could always try to arrange something with Barry @QTP though.

No problem. You should really like the electric cutout if you decide to get one

I have a setup like you are talking about, but I only use it at the track. My Hooker catback can be unclamped and dropped in about 15 minutes, and I clamp a dump to the y-pipe. It would be crazy loud on the street, but it saves about 50lbs of weight at the track.

I've never driven with the dump on the street. It would definitely attract cop's attention. Driving it around the pits at the track set off car alarms just putting around. But yes, it is WAY louder than with the catback.
