Bullet/resonator in the I-Pipe? I have a question:
My current setup is Pacesetter race LT's, TSP ORY, Borla.
This setup is a bit loud for me. Plus...its really raspy under rapid acceleration.
Would I lose any power by putting in a bullet on my I-Pipe? Also, would it help with the raspyness?
If the power loss is insignificant, what would be a good bullet to put in there? Thanks in advance!

There will be virtually no power loss putting a straight through bullet in the I-Pipe.
Options:
Dynomax bullet: will clear up about 1/2 to 3/4 the rasp, make it slightly deeper, not much change in noise level
Borla XR-1 bullet: clear up 3/4 to all the rasp, make it quite a bit deeper, slight reduction in noise level. It's a 5" Diameter muffler and is a tight fit in the I-Pipe but it can be done...some banging of the rear seat floor pan MAY be required.
Classic Chambered: clear up 3/4 to all the rasp, make it alot deeper, about the same noise reduction as Borla.
Those would be my top 3 choices. Dynomax is cheapest, than the Classic Chambered, and then the Borla is most expensive. I'd recommend the Borla or Classic Chambered personally.

ya adding a bullet won't hurt performance, but the exhaust note will be noticeably deeper from what people have said after adding bullet mufflers in the I-pipe. The borla is too expensive imo, try to get something cheaper.
Here is the Dynomax Bullet.

We can install the muffler, but we are currently moving shops. It would be two weeks or so before we could do it.
