Question quiet TD's.....

Im wanting to go with catted TD's, but I need it to be as quiet as possible without sacrificing any power. Ive come to the conclusion that its going to be too much to get them all the way back. So i know that they will need to be dumped. anyone have a similar setup? I know Mr. Joshua has something close to what I want but id like quieter mufflers. any ideas?

If your looking for something quiet, why do true duals?

the only reason i asked for quiet was because i have to drive it on base and i dont need people to hear me within a 5 block radius. i guess its pointless to try to explain...ill just go with lts a catted y and catback..save myself the grief...

I don't think they'll give you too much grief...

I had Pacesetter LT's | ORY | TSP Rumbler---- and the guards would compliment me on the exhaust as I went through they gate. When they found out I had dual electric cutouts in my y-pipe.. Everytime I tried to get on base, they would ask me to open them (they thought it was so cool) TR230/224 sounded great through those things.

Next setup was 2.5" true duals with Borla XR-1's and they loved those too. Always asking me to rev or sit there a little longer so they could hear it.

Just purchased a set of Sweet Thunders, and I'm sure that they're gonna love those too. Actually one of the security guys was asking me about building a setup for his Camaro since I did my own..

I'm Navy by the way.. Should be in San Diego at the end of Jan.

well. i still have to see what i want to do. ill have 2 weeks when i get back from pac in dec to hear a few setups before i drive down to tx. also, if i decide on TD's the i can get the headers alot sooner and just get cats to add to it just to help it out. Maybe Lane can hook it up. he did a sweet job on my cousins(A-Bomb) car. Also hit me up when you get there... i can show you around and show you where the tracks are if you dont already know.
