A resonator should quiet it up.

Looks fantastic though.

First off since it's a bridge port you're killing power running it true dual. You need exhaust scavageing to make any serious power, not only that but collecting the exhaust will quiet it down. collect the header according to racing beats recomendations and it will work, may not be the best but it will work. Then run both mufflers inline with a single exit and it will not only be quieter, but faster... I personally perfer short systems so I would collect the header as short as possible. 15-18" is best for a bridgeport, but with your RB roadrace header I would collect it as soon as possible which would be about 25" use that old collector you have there but collect it as close to the flange as you can. Also the heavier walled the piping the quieter the exhaust will be. It looks like they didn't use the best stuff running your system. It's really hard to tel how big of mufflers you got. hopefully you went with 3" then you can collect into 3" and run 3" straight back.

You could either collect it as stated and run the 2 mufflers in series, or you could stick a RB presilencer on each pipe in the middle somewhere.

That would make it quieter, but it would still be slower than its potential.

fuel line

for some reasons, Iam not comfortable with your fuel line. I prefer to use hard lines to properly tuck them in.
