Default Can it be done?

This is what I am trying to make: (QuicK Photochop)




I am thinking about getting dynomax race bullet mufflers and bolting them right behind my Kooks LT's... I was thinking I could do a little turn down on them so the exhaust would exit toward the ground...

But I also need a ball joint connection on the other end of the muffler so it will hook up to the kooks...


I live in Tampa FL.... Think anyone here will be able to do this for me?

My main concern is the ball joint connection...


Here is my current parts list:

DYNOMAX Bullet Mufflers (Aluminized)


Flowmaster Turndowns (Aluminized)

I dont see why not, personally I dont know why you would do that tho. Is the car staight up race? Texas-speed.com makes a true dual for verycheap and it dumps behind the rear axle, with you chouce of bullets including sweet thunder, dynomax, and moroso spiral flo. Ask the florida boys in the regional section nwho can do it for who.

Its for street and strip use...

I live in FL so there are no emission tests.

My setup only costs 100 bucks! trying to keep it cheap

You used to be able to buy header mount (collector) mufflers. They were usually glass packs, which are simlar to a race bullet. Check Dynimax and see what they have already.

Why does everyone feel this system will be SO LOUD?

Is it really that different from the "Texas Speed Rumbler X True Duals" which lots of people run on here?

My setup is just missing the x-pipe... I doubt the x-pipe makes that HUGE of a difference...

I think it will be loud... but not as loud as peple are making it out to be...

For example:



That replica cobra has a "laker pipe." That is basically what I am doing (except mine is hidden under the car)... And those things sound NICE! Not over the top loud... but they can be heard.

It's basically the same setup.... Muffler bolted to the header with a dump....


Just b/c its a short pipe does not mean it will be that much louder...
