Anyone successfull at quieting true duals??

I've been thinking of adding a couple more bullet mufflers or maybe some cone silencers. Im currently thinking of knocking the buckets under the car for the rear seats up some for some ground clearance to put some small mufflers. Still deciding. Anyone?

why quiet them, they are just right with an x-pipe and 2 bullets. just kidding, i know the drone is a bit much sometimes. a cone silencer should help things a little.

It'd quiet things down alot if you'd get the exhaust exiting out the back. Your car acts like a big guitar body as it is now.

I have an x pipe and 2 bullets and had your problem. It used to exit right before the axle. I welded some 60 degree bends to each side and some turn downs and now it exits right next to the rear wheels towards the ground. The drone is pretty much gone now. It still has the same sound and is just as loud wot.

I heard that having true duals put on an F body will hurt power...is this true? I have seen only one F-body with true duals and I think it was an LS1 car.
