quietest i've ever heard was two Thrush turbo mufflers from autozone behind an x-pipe. it literally was a set of True Duals that was quieter than a Magnaflow catback. they're cheap, like 28 bucks each.......after hearing this setup, i got one to go behind my catted y-pipe when i had to switch from Duals for emissions testing......my car is very quiet now, even with Pacestters and the cam

Thrush turbo is quiet , but it does not flow well, its not really a performance muffler more of a stock replacement.

Well the best flowing X pipes do not usually fall in the budget category but look something along these lines a narrow parallel http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...ductId=1130498 or splayed at one end.

my bad, i had it all wrong.....mine is a Thrush Glasspack, not a turbo muffler......it is a straight through design, the turbo mufflers are alot different.....these are still super quiet, compact, and look like Dynomax bullets on the inside

I was hoping someone by now would have posted up TDs out the back either over or under the axel. Not dumps, do not want to see dumps. May be BigBird will post up pics of his car, up on a lift with pics of the complete system.
