Default Putting 2 Bullets in the I-pipe?

I'm going to be reworking my exhaust soon and I'd planned on adding another 12" Bullet to the 18" one currently in my I-pipe. I'll be replacing the stock I-pipe with a 3" piece so I'll have to cut the old Bullet out anyway. I've looked at the space under there and it's pretty tight, I think I can fit both in but I'm not sure. Has anyone put both an 18" and 12" Bullet in the I-pipe succesfully? I currently have Hooker LT's and their y-pipe with the stock exhaust and a cutout.

You won't be able to do it and it wouldn't do much extra anyway.

Personally, I think you'd be just short.

Check this out:

<img src="http://www.fear.net/~dope/camaro/exhaust/relocated_bullet+cutout/new_cutout+bullet_location-from_driveside_viewpoint.jpg" alt=" - " />

This is my car. 12" bullet with the first end cut off, attached right to the y-pipe collector. We left the rear-most end on. Approximately 6" of piping, then 6" of cutout, and then immediately into the over-axle pipe. Including the end, that's about 14" MAX. An 18" bullet with the ends cut off is 16.5". Just shy, unfortunately.

Now, if you have stock manifolds and y-pipe, you could do it. I have FLPs, which relocate the y-pipe about 4" back. I had to cut 3-4" or so off my intermediate pipe to mate up to the FLP y-pipe. That would give you just enough length to do it. You'd have to watch the clearance under the crossmember though, maybe. You'd have an intermediate pipe made of bullets, heh. Would probably flow pretty well and quiet it down a lil more. Not a bad idea. Personally, I'd just get a quieter muffler, but whatever works!

I have the 18" bullet and cut-out on my exhaust. It just fit. The bullet is welded to the cut-out.
