Arrow Opinions On My Setup Please.

All Opinions welcome. I am getting ready to order all of the following and have this is my setup on my car. Im have heard mixed reviews of what this will sound like. I like loud and i like intimidating

Pacesetter LTs
QTEC Dual Electric Cutout Y-pipe
12-inch Bullet Muffler

Ill be dumping it after the muffler. I wont have a catback.

On my 99 SS, I had Pacesetter LTs and Y-pipe, 16-inch Bullet Muffler (i think that was the length) and dumped it with a turndown after the muffler. I loved the sound.

How do you think the sound of the new setup will be compared to the old setup? Opinions please.

I'd go with the TSP True Duals if you're going to dump the exhaust anyways. It'll sound a lot better and it'll outperform that setup too.

there is no need for a cutout if all your gonna run is a y pipe dumped with a bullet, so you could save some money there.

A bullet is a straight through muffler, you won't gain anything really by having a cutout in front of it. You really need an entire system behind the cutout in order for the cutout to function properly. There won't be enough pressure behind the cutout (since the only thing behind it will be the bullet and dump) so the exhaust is going to mostly just go out the back rather than through the cutout.

I still say you should go with TSP True Duals.

everyone else pretty much summed it up. if you like the bullet sound your cheapist bet is probably tsp duals. if you really want to do a y-pipe to bullet dumped you could, but a cut-out wouldnt be necessary. the bullet is a stright through design- picture a 3 inch pipe, with a bunch of little holes drilled into it, then .5'' of sound absorbing material all the way around. thats the best i can think to describe how the inside of a bullet looks. it flows alot more then you will need, and i would assume using a y-pipe would be a problem before the bullet was.
