I'm running these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...917635941&rd=1
RB header, 2.5" test pipe, custom 2.5" y-pipe to dual 2.5" piping and those mufflers, no problems, just extremely loud.

im assuming that if i got 2 of the ebay ones it would be quiter than what i have now. am i right?
i have ALL the original cats to a crush bent 2.5" pipe that goes to a single muffler from who knows where and its shaped like an oval width wise and barely fits where it is. so if i got 2 cheap ebay ones and a custom y-pipe would it be quieter?

Those ebay jobs are straight through, decent for performance and almost nill sound cancelling.
If you keep the 3 cats and go with two of those muflers, the exhaust may be bearable. If you remove the cats and go with those straight through muflers only, your ears will be hating you.

But then again I'm crazy and used to loudness in my cars.

You know what, for the prices you pay, you might as well go quality stuff from Summit Racing.
If it's looks you're concerned with, then get whatever you want.
If you're worried about noise, get...
* Walker Dynomax UltraFLO
* Magnaflow
* Dynatech
* Borla
Get the "turbo" mufflers with *offset* inlets / outlets.
This will give you the best flow with the least amount of noise.

I got 2 of the $8.95 specials from E Bay. Problem is the shipping was $36.00 each. I went to Mienikee(sp) and spent another $149.00 for installing. I wish now I had opted for a catback which would have been only a little more. These things are loud but they qualify as mufflers so I can live with em.

Thats what I HATE about ebay. Every jackass selling on there rapes you on shipping.
