    Got millions of compliments on it. Personally driving down the highway wasn't bad at all. I won't be unhappy trust me.

    Alright, does where you angle the turn downs change it a lot? Will longer bullets quiet it any

      Mine has a x with bullets and turndowns in front of the axle. When I put it on I thought it was really loud, but I have gotten used to it. It does drone while you're driving. People always tell me how loud it is, but that they think it sounds really good. Take that for what it's worth. You can get some ideas from youtube, but I don't know if that does them justice.

        Would I bet better off not using turn downs and getting longer mufflers?

          It certainly wouldn't hurt IMO. I feel like the turndowns make it "boomier" if that makes sense.

            Whats the best way to hang them?

            A lot of people say run sprial flows rather then dynomax bullets.


            Any input?

            I'd like to have this all done by the 28th so I need to figure it all out asap.

              For most people it sure is! Not me though. I had the opposite experiece with turndowns, they lowered the drone level for me.

              Personally i think drone goes hand in hand with a good sounding exhaust. Yes i have drone but i also get the "thats the best sounding car ive ever heard" compliment everywhere i go. Even the cop that pulled me over a few weeks ago had to compliment it

                Without turndowns it'll resonate of the bottom of the car more. Not to mention all that heat will be getting blown straight on your 10 bolt.

                Angle the turndowns at 45* and you should be good.

                If you want quieter - some 4x9 case magnaflows might be a good option for you. Bullets do little for lowering db's

                  Go dynomax..... I've personally heard both on the sane exact car and the dynomax bullets sounded way better.

                  Plus the price is so cheap aswell can't beat it. Real cars don't need chambered mufflers to sound good.

                    Any exhaust company will tell you you need at least 6" of pipe off of the mufflers

                      Mine are hung by running longer rear seatbelt bolts, then the hangers go on those with a lock nut. I heard the spiral flows have a deeper tone than the bullets.

                        I can hardly hear my car while it's running at 50mph.

                          Everything should be here tomorrow.

                          Think this will give me false knock?

                            I dont have any turndowns with my bullets, and I wont, I hate all the dust they kick up. I turndowns when I had flowmasters sounded good at idle, and thats about it.

                                I wonder if you measure where you need to flatten it and heat that spot nice and red and massage it just rite it would probly look pretty good
