do your dual 3inch into a single 3.5 and a single cut out, then all your resonators and muffler crap.

Single 4" cutout is already on the way so 4" it is.

Bought a Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator a few years back after so many people on here suggested it. Honestly the best thing I've ever found to eliminate drone and rasp. So for the new setup each bank will have one in the Y pipe and the one I ordered just came in today.

Very nice craftsmanship and the polish job is impeccable. Highly recommend these things.

Can't wait to see and hear this setup

I'd love to hear it with those two and a single large case 4" magnaflow, but have a feeling it would still be pretty loud. No matter what you do large diameter pipes are hard to keep quiet it seems, unless you run a mega sized OEM muffler that sucks the life out of flow

I'm excited as well. I absolutely love being next to a Ricer at a light and slowly open the cutout. I'm hoping the 4" will be even deeper sounding.

I wonder if a giant magnaflow with multiple more resonators or mufflers all straight through design would be quiet. Like 2 3" Ultra quiets in the Y pipe followed by a 4" diesel muffler then giant case 4" magnaflow and possibly even another 4"resonator of sorts before the tip. Then technically it would be all straight through 4".

**Disclaimer** A ricer can be of foreign or domestic manufacture and include cars, vans and especially trucks of the diesel breed.

LOL at your ricer explanation. The 5th gen camaro has become a ricer favorite so you do have to kinda make a disclaimer

I don't know about the OE mufflers, I see them as likely to be pretty restrictive in comparison to a straight through. Even the 3.5" one I'm running. I really need to do a back pressure test at some point but I can't quite picture how to tap the pipe to be able to hook up to it. Plus I need a pressure gauge.

I have copper access fittings that I use for refrigerant system access. They are 1/4" flare with a valve core. You could braze it on the exhaust pipe?

Hmm. Maybe. Next time you're over here lets take a look and see if we can figure out a way for it to work.

I'd like to somehow use my wide band bung to have a screw in and out deal so it isn't permanent. May be able to attach your fitting to one of my spare plugs.

I just used an 02 bung on the blower setup. On the turbo I use an unused 02 bung on the turbo manifold right before the turbine housing. I set the one up for the turbo to be more permanent. I have a 0-100psi liquid filled gauge I hook up when I wanna test it.

I have a bung. It's not in use and plugged. Just sitting there waiting.

My issue is I'm not sure how to tap into it/make it to where I can hook up a hose
