Default Change-up on Exhaust.

I'm looking at changing up my exhaust a little bit, but don't want to go to duals for clearance issues. I pop speedbumps all the time with what I have now, and the roads in Hawaii are all terrible anyway.

When I first put my headers on, I added a Corsa as well and loved the sound over the LM2. I put a cam in a couple years ago, and I LOVED the sound at idle and WOT, but I'm looking to clean up the rest and have heard good things about throwing a bullet in the mix.

Anyone have experience with bullet mufflers paired with a Corsa on a cammed car? I've read about Magnaflows and Powersticks with GMMG setups, but notsomuch with Corsa. Thanks in advance.

Do you have cats? That would clean it up a lot.

I personally couldn't bring myself to mess with the Corsa sound, so I've no other suggestions.

No cats, and honestly I don't remember where my Y came from. I think it's TSP. There's currently a manual cutout on the Ipipe, but I've no problem getting rid of it.

Magnaflow would be a safe bet if you want tame, sweet thunder or dynomax on loud side as far as bullet mufflers go.

I have a speed engineering y-pipe (basically the same as tsp) I cut the merge off and made a 4" merge. Went into a 4" cutout and reduced back down to 3" into my borla. Honestly it quietend it down at idle. No rasp at all.
