    If you want a fancy schmancy zippadeedoodah vehicle then go buy one for that purpose.
    Like those silly japasneeze cars with four bangers and sound like they have exhaust probs.

    dont bring that crap into the trucking industry.
    When I say trucks I mean TRUCKS not pickup cars.
    A pickup car is a thing with four wheels and the drivers of which on THINK they are truck drivers.

    There's two separate mufflers that PP sells. One is a quiet muffler and the other is for performance. Both have about the same tone at idle and sound great rolling down the road, but the performance one is deeper when you run the jake.
    What you can do is use an insert or a resonator in straight pipes for a small section so the tone isn't as brutal. Hope that helps you.

    That actually sounds perfect. I just don't want to have a headache at the end of my 11. I think the performance seems the best, so I guess we will go from there! Thank you.

    But if you have baffles I believe they can't touch you, right?
