If you want to keep the duals, I would recommend Magnaflow bullets, or the pricier Borla XR-1 bullets. Both will cut sound quite a bit. I would recommend the XR-1s as they sound better, and will also be quieter at cruise/idle. Definitely should be acceptable with the neighbors over dynomax bullets.

If you are interested in either, shoot me a PM for prices.
Yes I am very interested. PM sent.

If you want quiet, cheap, and flow get a dynomax 3" over the axle and ipipe for $100 with the largest 3" ultraflo muffler. Thats what Im running. Its quiet enough to listen to the radio when cruising around. The inside of the ultraflo muffler looks just like the bullet muffler so it flows good. Its only a single 3" exhaust so it wont be as good as duals but it will be a lot quieter.

Thanks. I don't think it will be a good solution for CRZYPWR though.

i know borla is expensive but you could always keep the plate closed when you're worried about noise and in my opinion, its sounds great with the plate open

Explain. Are you saying a Spintech is restictive or just that a catback would sacrifice power compared to true duals? You say "a lot of power". Care to explain what "a lot of power" means? Do you have some dyno data or something you can post up to back your claim?

Yeah lets hear that beast. I'm about to go TD's with dumped 1 chamber flowmasters and that probably won't work for you either. I think it might be quite a chore to try and calm down the noise from such an aggressive cam so good luck.
