Has anyone done something like this before? I have had my Magnaflow cat-back with LT's and cats for few years now. Never cared for the sound. I know it's the Y-pipe that sounds funky. I know TD's over the axle are the way to go, but for now I am thinking of trying some type of bullet in the I pipe. Maybe a med 3" Powerstick or a med 3" Cobrapac (AKA Glass pac) to reduce or change the sound. Let me know your thoughts.

Either one will definitely reduce the sound. I did this when I was running the Borla cat back and it made the car alot quieter when I didn't have the plate open. I used the dynomax bullet. But I would recommend either of the Classic Chambered parts as I have both kinds on my TD system, love the sound!!

If I were you, I would look into getting a quality merge. Not sure what y pipe you have now, but most of them suck. Having a good flowmaster merge put in can do wonders for sound quality with out giving up volume .
The additional muffler in The I pipe will not cure the shitty sound, it will only make it quieter.

Just wait and get a new system.. Your still not going to be happy and your gonna wish you would've did it right the first time eventually. I went through 2 catbacks before I installed my duals. Wasted all that money before I was satisfied.
