I am not trying to be a **** but this is the second time I have seen you give wrong advice. Alot of newer guys come on here looking for advice and they take it as fact that what they read here is good, so please if you have personal expierence with the subject matter then by all means chime in. If not then let someone who does know answer the question.

I am not perfect, but you will notice that I stay out of the cam and inner engine tech questions cause I really don,t know that much about it, never had my motor opened up so I let the guys who have done it answer those questions.
I just don,t want to see someone screw their car up cause you gave em bad advice.
and on the 8th day He said "let there be revtime"

I had a Dynamax bullet(drag race muffler) in place of my cat running through a Spintech and it was still loud-it did stop the popping though-I am not familar with the other one you mentioned.

I'm running an x-pipe with dual bullets, and out the sides... at idle it's actually quieter than the cutout was... at 6K it's Nice...

I belive I have heard of people using the spiral flow to quiet it down a bit, but I have no experience with them myself.....I personally don't think the Dynomax bullets are that loud, unless of course you get on the pedal. No matter what mufflers you go with, most likely its gonna fit the definition of "Loud."

too late, your wasting your time with dual E cutous


X and H pipes equalize the backpressure in a nutshell

i wouldn't run the duals without an x or an h. my brother-in-law (smoke t/a) was running duals w/ nothing but bullets and it was ungodly loud. my car with the x-pipe is quieter and has a much different tone. i would recommend one or the either.

He means that if you have dual cutouts that you are basically negating the benifits of a xpipe, because cutouts are completely open exhaust.
