Default Bullets on long tubes yes or no

I have done some searching and seen where sux2bu has put his bullets onto the collectors of longtubes. None of his videos would load for me i guess there to old. I have true duals and x pipe now and i love the sound im just trying to save a lil more weight and get yalls opinion on it. He said it was not to loud and flowed good, I will have good size cam and i like loud i just dont want it to sound like **** and ill be loosing some back pressure im sure so i dont wanna hurt my performance either. I have seen alot of people on here do this whats yalls imput. THANKS.

If its for an all out drag car, then go for it. If you drive it on the street it will be very loud.

Is going to be dd untill i can buy me a lil beater to get here and there i also have a bike but its to cold for that. I only drive maybe 3 miles to work and thats it. Im not worried bout it being loud i just wanna know is it a good loud or a sound like **** loud and will it help/hurt performance. Sux2bu did this i read his thread and he said it was not as loud as you would think but i cant load the video. Mainly if it will kill my performance at all then ill leave the trues on there

Race car stuff. I just keep the x pipe and dumps and take weight out some where else. There are tons of other stuff you can do. But if you like loud then go crazy and post videos.

stock motor 3" pipes through the cats to spiral flows dumped. No merge or anything. Its not the greatest but it gives you an idea. **** gets LOUD inside the car and the drone is bad enough to make you want to get pipe extensions and at least put them behind the back seats. Id keep the duals
