Exclamation Adivice on exhuast set up

k as of right now i have Long tube headers......into a Y-pipe......then a morso bullet muffler attach to it...dumped before the axle. What i want to do is have it run over the axle and come out as dual. So either i can buy a cat back....or make a custom one. If i make the custom one...im going to need the piece that Y piece. I really want a deep sounds out of the exhaust...right now it is raspy as hell. so if i buy a cat-back...which one?......or if i go the custom set up...where to buy the parts for the spilt and which mufflers to go wit..for a deep sound?

ok ya i kinda scanned over it. but he did say it was raspy and that he wanted a deep sound out of it. see adding a couple cats might cut all that rasp out, and i would just do a catback like a TSP rumbler, magnaflow, GMMG.

Don't Do Magnaslow Unless You Just Don't Want To Hear Your Exahust At All

I Put That Crap On My Car And Cant Hear Exahust Untill About 5800 Rpms!!!
My 02 Dodge Truck (stock Ex.) Sounds Way Better!!!

i would just hook up a stock catback to the y pipe and do a cutout...with my cutout opened it is very deep, and you get the best of both worlds...quiet when you want, and loud when you want

if you were to spend money on a GMMG i would just buy the borla adj. and save money plus the sound is wicked
