Default Exhaust help.

What should I do about my exhaust? I got Kook's LT and ORY. It is installed with the clamps now but am thinking of getting them welded so there are no leaks where they join the ORY and where the ORY joins the catback. Also it is raspy. I got a bullit to put in the I-pipe but I don't think there is enough room in the I-pipe for the bullit and the cutout. If there is would it hurt to put the cutout right at the end of the Y and then the bullit or what. When I have the cutout open it is ways to raspy and loud but with the cutout capped it is pretty qiuet going through my Random Tech catback and it still has a little rasp. What is the best solution to get it to sound right.

depends on your definition of right. either get some cats or run the bullet. the bullet right off the y and then cut out should fit. also dont weld the exhaust, use stainless syeel band clamps

Thanks jrp. Will the bullet make it real quiet or just get rid of the rasp?
