I've got long tubes, no cats, 18" dynomax bullet after the Y, then a cutout before the axle. The bullet helped with the rasp, but I don't cruise much with the cutout open. It's just too damn loud. The bullet deepened the sound when the cutout is closed (I still have the stock WS6 system after the cutout). Here's the summit # for 3" in and 3" out: WLK-24219

Check out these old threads for pics of a similar setup:

look into putting a vortex cone insert inside the cutout. It doesnt restrict at all and it cuts down the dB level, as well as help remove rasp. Its in summit and jegs. jegs part # is 329-72-32520
