High Flow Cat vs Bullet Muffler?

[xjarayax]

Here's an idea, buy 6 standard 3" exhaust flanges, put one on each end of a bullet muffler, stock cat, and then on the pipe that the two go between.

Need to pass inspection? Take an extra 5 minutes bolting the cat up.

Now you just need to find a friendly welder who's willing to help you out for an hour or so.

This'll also be good in case the bullet sounds like ungodly ****.

[3.4 slow to go]

keep the cat & get a Raven exhaust.

bottom line, what will be better for sound purposes, i'm looking for a nice throaty sound loud, but not so loud that it gets annoying,
flowmaster 80 series, 2.5 mendral bent custom piping, and 2.5 inlet/outlet carsound cat
or
flowmaster 80 series, 2.5 mendral bent custom piping, and 2.5 bullet muffler instead of the cat
I don't want to regrat having gotten an exhaust that stills sounds ricey, so please lmk which you think

anyone??
and also, would any one of these set ups generally sound better on a 3.4 or a 3.8?

Hey man. Just wanted to let you know. The flowmaster kit I bought came with a resonator. So you really don't need the dynomax. Also, if you still want to get the dynomax you can have it mounted just a little futher back on the I-Pipe. I just put mine in place of the cat cause Michigan doesn't have emissions testing. Hope this helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]

i don't buy the american thunder exhaust kit, i have a flowmaster 80 series, plan on getting custom 2.5 piping, and you think it makes sence to get a high flow cat and put a bullet muffler right after it, along w/the muffler, would this make for a nicesounding tone? because i figure im jus putting on an extra restrictor by putting an additional item on to an exhaust w/a muffler and cat
