Default Duals Idea, Lookin For Comments and Opinions

Im thinkin about replacing the macs and 1oftl ultraflo catback. I was thinkin about getting the Edelbrock 1 7/8" stepped headers with 3.5" collectors and 2 3.5" i/o 5"round bullets before the xpipe then a pair of 3" 4x9 magnaflow mufflers. Should be somewhat quiet with a killer sound.

Will the 5" bullets after the headers clear or will they hang too low?

For those of you who are curious you can hear my exhaust setup at ls1sounds under the dynomax section.

Why do you want Bullets AND 4x9 Magnaflows? I'd say just get one or the other, and put whichever you chose after the x-pipe where you dump.

I want the exhaust to be quiet as possible without being restrictive. I figure a 3.5" bullet will have very little restriction while killing some dB's and the magnflows are supposedly quiet and free flowing. I agree 4 mufflers is going a little overboard but being dumped under the car makes it louder inside.

5" mufflers will not work anywhere before the rear axle. The absolute largest I would go would be 4" and even that is pretty tall. The quietest muffler you can get for a dual dumped system is the Magnaflow 4"x9". I have heard of one person using them, but he has 28" tall slicks on the back, so ground clearance isn't a concern for him.
If you want "quiet" duals, you will probably need to run them out the back with your choice of muffler.

I'm sure you can fit a 5" muffler, you will just lose some more ground cleareane. With what you want, it sounds like you will definitly scape on speed bumps.
