Default 1-bullet No-Bullet?

I was thinking to myself,...I have LTs into an X-pipe dumped at the axle w/ 2 18in bullets....I was thinking what would it sound like if i cut one off and left one on? and would it mess up anything? would i lose or gain power? I mean im just wondering b/c i might do it just for the hell of it since it would only cost me 10-20$ to get it put back on.

Any specific reason other than sound for the experiment? Not sure it would run bad. May have a little loss in low end but the bullets flow pretty well. I had bullets on my first set of duals and never really cared for the sound. I've since had flo pro twisters and sweet thunders that sound better IMO....

Naa i like the bullets,...and yeah the only reason i'd be doing it is for the sound. Kind of between the open header sound and having bullets i figured. But i was wanting some opinions on what may happen or if nothing would happen and i'd be fine? and what everyone thinks of what it would sound like

i doubt it would run bad. I know its not the same thing but it would be similar to having a cutout, not all the exhaust comes out of the cutout, there is still a small amount that continues to flow through the catback, since yours is after the X it should have the same effect where one side will flow more than the other, but since its after the X it shouldnt be a problem. i'm guessing.
