puttting a rear muffler on it...seems common sense to me. I'm putting a flowmaster 1 chamber on my tsp rumbler tomorrow to kill rasp. I would jsut buy a hooker muffler and have them weld it to the pipe after it goes over the axle.

Swap out the SLP loudmouth for an SLP Dual Dual. That will quiet you down and yet you'll still flow well.

Please start a thread with pics and results...maybe a clip or two when you're done. Do you think there will be room to put that muffler in where the bullet is now?

Add cats to the car if it doesnt already have them, and swap out the SLP resonator for a Borla XR-1 #40085 muffler. Not only will it quiet it down, it will be much much more deeper of an exhaust note. Every person I've sold the XR-1 to as a SLP replacement has absolutely loved it.

PM me for details/pricing if you want to know anything else.
