Default Quietest Possible Exhaust

Run a pair of bullets in the ypipe. Another one in the ipipe and a catback of your choice.

Can you hear me now?

I was just kiddin around. You always hear about people runnin bullets in the y or ipipe to kill the rasp. Why not do both? I prefer to run a big muffler in the stock location and put the weight where you want it.

I have a mac headers, ory with a 3" 1oftl ultraflo catback. It has a good sound and is cheap. A little loud but no rasp.
