true duals quick question

Alright I did a search but couldn't find an exact answer. Basically I want the quietest possible mufflers to use and still see the gains in a true duals system. Right now I'm running a flowmaster catback and although some people say its not hurting me, im frankly just getting sick of the sound. The reason why I want quiet is because on campus the cops are hardcore about this kind of stuff.

Re: true duals quick question

Put in a Dynomax Ultraflow just like the one in the picture in my sig. If you
want to save some $$, get the aluminized steel instead of stainless. Very,
very quiet.

Look at PN 17515.

Re: true duals quick question

the truth of the matter is, the only benefit of true duals on our cars over a nice cat back in the sound, and you don't want that, so why not just change to a different cat back? Less money, less time, and better ground clearance

It's not an "x" or an "h", it's a 1.25" by 11" window in the siamesed parallel
pipe section.

As for the HP gain, I dynoed 12 rwhp over a 3" cat back system in a dual
cat car. I'd say that's pretty darn good. Plus my car is really quiet.

Look closely at the pics of the exhaust in my sig. You will see the section
of pipe I am referring to, plus there is a picture looking inside the crossover.

you also have a fairly modded engine, I doubt on a stock engine he will pick up anywhere near 12rwhp. Your setup looks really nice though, really nice!

Re: true duals quick question

Check out Spintech street sportmans. They are a little louder than stock until you really get on it.
