it's a tad loud without any pipes or mufflers under there

mostly, I'm just working on getting off of my *** and ordering the rest of the parts. . .to indecisive As with most things I do i'm at the "screw, just order something and put it on" phase. . .looking at Cherry Bomb Extreme resonators only, at least until I get pulled

the originals were pretty much straight pipe with little fiberglass packing in them... they sounded perfect to me... but ones since then come off a little riceish sounding...

i think ud like the vortex ones really... theyre a hybrid muffler... gives ya both excellent sound without it being too loud and close to the flow as you can get with running straight pipes.. (its also from cherry bomb)

there were some louder sounding magna flows but they are out of stock for another week

I heard some of those, sounded nice but not TOO loud. . .do you know anyone who has tried the summit turbos? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-630225/

Just for the cost I wonder if it might be worth it to see what they sound like. I like the offset as well, I just want to dump these in front of the passenger tire. . .

BTW, 2.5" exhaust in and out
