    Bullet mufflers

    Looking to buy or borrow 2.5 or 3 inch mufflers. I changed my y pipe and would like to try some different mufflers whenever I make it to the dyno. If anyone has any laying around that they won't use let me know.
    I'll be at cresson Saturday too

    what did you have before? i ran a bullet on my last Y and then changed to a flowmaster 40 deltaflow which I like much better in regards to sound, lack of rasp, and decibel level.
    I wouldn't run a bullet again unless you are most concerned with weight.
    both were/are located in place of where the single cat would be on pre '96 LT1s.

    I have a 2.5" SLP Loudmouth, but I only have one (put the other one on my truck).

    ...and it's missing the clamp.

    That is perfect i only need one and would like to see how the loudmouth compares to a dynomax Please bring it if you can

    Before I had a custom y with cats and rest was custom 3" without a muffler but it was pretty quiet. Now I have a Mac y pipe without cats and I think it is 2.5" exiting the y. I dont find any 2.5 to 3 inch pipes an only see reducers?

    Stock pipe size at the outlet of the Y was 2.75". It is likely the MAC unit has the same so as to mate up w/ the OEM stuff.

    You are correct sir. Car isn't here but I have a stock y and it looks like 2.5 inner and 2.75 outer. I measuredy custom y and I think it was 3" out of the cats and 3.5" at the Y so it would have been 3.5" out the back. Seems too big so now I am real curious how the dyno will turn out especially the torque
    Rock-I would still like to try the loudmouth

    Y5-weight isn't a concern since I am underweight but I generally don't like flow masters. I'll look them up to see how big it is. I thought a bullet might fit best with just a turndown agterwards

    Does it matter which way I mount the SLP muffler as far as airflow? Can either end be used as the inlet? I'm having trouble getting the muffler an Y hooked up since they are both the same 2.5" OD? Does anyone have a 2.5" lap band connector?

    Is it okay if I run with just the Y pipe open and no muffler or turndown?

    Or anyone have a welder to weld up the exhaust at the track?

    The baffle (the only one baffle) is at the back so I'd say it's one direction only. I used a lap band type connector to fit the one on my truck since I had the same issue.

    Edit: If you're registered for AI then having an open exhaust shouldn't be a problem.
