Default duals are finished

i FINALLY got my dauls made finished up over the weekend. its 2.5" with stock 2000 cats, x-pipe, 12" bullets, and dumped at the axle. i love the sound outside of the car, but in the car there is alot of resonance between 2500 and 2800. i definately prefer the sound of the x-pipe. i started the car with and without the bullets, and they really gave it a deeper tone, but hardly quited the sound at all. i'm going to experiment with the turndowns to try and kill some of the resonance, but i'm not optimistic. currently i have 30 deg. turn downs angled out at 45 deg. any thoughts on the turndowns? do you all with x and bullets have bad interior resonance in the rpm range i noted?

how much clearance do you have between the floorboard and exhaust tube? i tucked my pipes up in there pretty close for maximum ground clearance, but i think the closest spot is by the left side muffler where there is 0.5" of clearance. everywhere else, there is at least 0.75" of clearnce. someone mentioned turning the turndowns directly towards the side
