    Any experience with straight pipes with muffler insert. I am looking for less noise,
    Maybe a resonator then pipes or mufflers

    Cab has been lined with dyna mat and closed cell foam.

    I know a resonator will help with the drone at some rpm’s.

    I assume pipes behind the doors? Is it too loud now? Do you have mufflers, and are the newer?

    When i had all pete's with straight pipes i used a resonator under the cab before the Y. One driver we put two, one after the Y each side.

    I’m thinking a resonator before the y , then 7 inch with mufflers in the spools.

    I would put the spools in first, then decide if you want the resonator later.
