I have the exhaust setup in my sig and it's really loud and raspy under medium acceleration at 2200-3200 RPMs. I'm swapping in a Borla XR1 muffler to get rid of the rasp. It doesn't have too much drone, but there is a slight drone at 60ish going down the highway.

Throw a bullet muffler in the I-Pipe right behind a cut-out. It will smooth out the sound and you can use the cut-out when you make it to Cordova

ive heard that a lot. i think im just going to put up with it for a little bit, then when i get the money i will throw a spiralflo or dynomax bullet on it. if thats not good enough i can get the powerflo mufflers from slp. lots more work but i think it will flow better than with cats.

i hope so anyway...

Ws6 store has a magnaflow round muffler that fits in the resonator's spot in the loudmouth. I think it's ~70. I'd check it out if the lm is too much without cats.

Either this or a Dynomax Ultraflo round muffler would likely fit there as well, if you don't want to do bullets in the Y-pipe.
