Header with factory mufflers
I know many people say it sounds like crap. The header is the racing beat road race thats been modified to a semi long primary setup. I think it merges at 45". It collects about 14" before the factory Y-split to the the factory mufflers. I don't have enough room to put in my pre silencer but eventually it will be worked into the system.
I need to know if the factory mufflers will quieten the car down to a drivable level? This is not a daily driver. But I still need to avoid complaining neighbors and cops.

I've got mine on, it is not too loud, but I have a presilencer. I'm not sure exactly how much difference the presilencer makes. I ran with just the headers and presilencer to a single pipe, no catback, way too loud. I put the stock muff on, and it quieted it down to a reasonable level. I still want duals, but have too many other projects on items that are not running right.
