Well I only ordered 1 cutout. I had just mentioned having to use 2 of them if you put the muffler at the front of the I-pipe. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a cutout be pointless behind a muffler?

If you are going to put a cutout near the axle I'm guessing your muffler is tucked up by the gastank?

Correct, my catback now has the muffler behind my bumper, when I say alxe area I mean right before the axle like where most people have there single cut out.

The DynoMax bullet did nothing for me when I replaced the LM resonator. I was very dissapointed. I then went to a Borla XR-1 and love it! The rasp is totally gone as is a lot of the drone. It is a little TOO loud at WOT, but sounds mean through the whole RPM range. Best $100 I've spent on the Z28...

I wouldn't suggest replacing your LM2 muffler with a dynomax bullet since they are practically the same, but it looks like you already ordered a magnaflow so I hope that works out.

If you have a lot of popping, change your sparkplugs! I changed my sparkplugs probably every year or so and had longtubes/no cats/gmmg and it never popped

I did new spark plugs last weekend. It isn't like misfire popping or anything. Its the sound of the exhaust at those certain rpm's; harsh like PAK PAK PAK PAK! then back to normal muscle sound after. I mean it pulls strong. I can def feel a top end difference after the headers.

Hopefully the Magnaflow will do most of the trick. There's a guy with a white Z28 around here with a Magnaflow muffler welded in and it sounds tame but strong. Where is everyone finding these $100 Borla mufflers? Seems like all I've seen is $140-180??
