Default Thruster Pro owners: whats your exhaust setup?

I have TTS headers w/ cats and a loudmouth. With my TP4000E the noise wasn't that bad, but now that I have a 4400 I don't even like driving my car anymore. From stoplight to stoplight vroooooomm vrooooooom and people look at me like "What the hell is wrong with his car?" <img src="images/icons/blush.gif" border="0"> It was cool at first but now I don't want to be the center of attention anymore.

So I'm looking into a quieter catback, maybe even a stock w/ a cutout only for the track? I was wondering what you guys w/ thruster pros were running for exhausts?

Also, does anybody know of a quiet bullet muffler I can just replace the resonator with? That is probably the cheapest way to go.

thanks, <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Whisper Header to ORP to Whisper Catback.

I can't imagine running without a muffler... too loud for me!

Probably the best "quiet" muffler/cat back I've heard is the SLP Dual Dual.

It's so loud that I can't concentrate LOL.

TTS Headers w/cats, 4" Mufflex. Isn't too bad, I think the compression makes it worse. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Ragtop,
you should definitely install a cutout and re track test your combo. I bet you have 2 tenths with the cutout alone!!
Cheers,
Chris

SLP Dual Dual.

One of these days I'll put in a cut-out for track use.

A Borla race muffler would probably help and cut down the noise.
